Bug 48541 – Installed JDKs does not satisfy virtual dependency for any Java tool and emerge requires dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1 which in turn has empty/missing/bad digest

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergey Starosek 2004-04-21 01:59:51 UTC]

At some moment trying to emerge any Java tool (ant, eclipse) portage suggests to emerge dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1:

root@anchor star # emerge -pv dev-java/ant
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1  -doc -nptl  [empty/missing/bad digest] 
[ebuild     U ] dev-java/ant-1.5.4-r1 [1.5.3-r5] -doc  6,455 kB 

At the same moment there're several JDKs already installed:

root@anchor star # java-config -L
[sun-jdk-1.3.1.09] "Sun JDK 1.3.1.09" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.3.1.09) *
[sun-jdk-1.4.2.04] "Sun JDK 1.4.2.04" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.04)
[blackdown-jdk-1.4.1] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.1" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.1)

my system is:
root@anchor star # emerge info

To solve that problem temporarily I've injected that package and got a warning:

root@anchor root # emerge inject dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1
!!! BAD COUNTER in 'dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1'
>>> Injected dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1-r1.
root@anchor root #

Hope this helps.

Check your /var/cache/edb/virtuals for the entry virtual-jdk. Either remove dev-java/sun-j2sdk or move it to the end. At least on my system. Maybe someone else can confirm/deny.

[Comment 3 Joseph Booker 2004-06-05 08:43:09 UTC]

Try running 'emerge -va --unmerge sun-j2sdk' which will get rid of all your old JDKs, then doing either 'java-config -S blackdown-jdk-1.4.1' or 'emerge sun-j2sdk;java-config -S sun-jdk-<version>'

It would seem to me like it either doesn't know you have these JDKs installed, or its thinking its supposed to upgrade a sloted version of that JDK

what's in your virtuals fine for virtual/jdk?
