I had openoffice-bin(1.1.0) installed and decided to move to openoffice(1.1.0-r2) over the weekend. emerge -C openoffice-bin emerge -up openoffice //openoffice listed as only dependency. emerge -u openoffice: //blah blah compile download ... ... // Monday morning >>> md5 src_uri ;-) OOo_1.1.0_source.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gpc231.tar.Z >>> md5 src_uri ;-) freetype-2.1.4.tar.bz2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 15, in ? from java_config import jc_options ImportError: No module named java_config * * This ebuild has only been tested with the blackdown port of * java.

(no error message) Installed blackdown-jre : emerge -u blackdown-jre Now java-config doesn't break from command line with "java-config --jdk-home" I haven't tried to re-emerge openoffice yet due to time limitations, but I expect that it has fixed the problem. Thanks.
Note, you will need blackdown-jdk (not blackdown-jre) about the previous problem. java-config is a python app and thus needs to be remerged after the update of python from 2.2 to 2.3
This is neither a java nor an openoffice problem but happened when upgrading python from 2.2 to 2.3 and didn't run the python-updater afterwards, not a lot we can do here...
