Description Julien Allanos (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-05 14:05:23 UTC 
in the ebuild, this:

DEPEND="tcltk? ( >=dev-lang/tcl-8.4 )
        java? ( virtual/jdk )"

RDEPEND="tcltk? ( dev-lang/tcl )
        java? ( virtual/jre )"

makes portage install both a jdk and a jre, where (i guess) a jdk would be sufficient.
Comment 1 Gavrila 2004-10-06 03:28:22 UTC 
This behaviour is correct I guess since jdk ebuilds should provide jre virtual package, satisfacting both dependecies.

Though there is a bug since i've got sun-jdk installed and:

Kreuzberg stefy # emerge -uDpvt db

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

it seems to me that virtual handling is quite faulty in portage
Comment 2 Gavrila 2004-10-06 03:34:37 UTC 
maybe it's not clear from my pasted output, but blackdown-jre is indented under db, as a dependancy (emerge -pvuD db lists blackdown-jre, though emerge -pv db does not)
Comment 3 Gavrila 2004-10-06 04:03:23 UTC 
Ok there was an hidden blackdown-jre-1.4.1 installed. Removing it solved my problem. Still I think that my comment on db dependecies is actual for this bug.
Comment 4 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-08 02:26:15 UTC 
The depencencies are correct. The jdk is only needed for building the package, not for using the java bindings. For usage only a jre is needed. In general there is no point in having both a jre and a jdk installed as every jdk provides a jre.
If both are tried to be installed this is a bug in portage's virtual resolution or the jre/jdk's
