It looks like you may have dev-java/icedtea-bin in @world so it tries to pull in the highest version. You can't really trust the output of equery depends in this case. Adding --tree --verbose to the emerge options may help sort it out, too. But if it's just an unrestricted icedtea-bin entry in world, I don't think there's any bug here.
the highest version of icedtea is 3.0.1 > 7.2.6.6-r1 I dont know why they start with 3.0 and not with 8.0 I will try to delete icedtea from world. Thank you.
ok, your suggestion fix the problem. you can close this bug. Thanks :) PS: I still think that 3.0.1 > 7.2.6 is a bad naming for a highest version.
this is upstream choice. (kind of)
