The new sun-jdk-1.5.0 ebuild won't build for me: leak sun-jdk $ emerge -pv sun-jdk-1.5.0 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!!

you need =package-version or even =cat/package-version for example: emerge -pv =sun-jdk-1.5.0
Could this bug be forwarded to the portage team, as a usability problem? I don't think that error message lets the user know that he or she typed something wrong.
i think it would be better to open a new bug for them
