Do you have any java jdk installed currently?
"java-config -L" show nothing, "java-config -l" hem 53 packages :P
so you have java packages installed on your machine but you uninstalled your jre/jdk and now you're wondering why portage is trying to re-install a jre/jdk ?
red face, Let me try to explain better: My bad (1), I've not consulted java-config before. My bad (2), there is at least one "emerge --depclean" not mentioned My bad (3), this one is the best:, I've found this in my emerge.log: 1113762322: Started emerge on: Apr 17, 2005 20:25:22 1113762322: *** emerge unmerge dev-java/blackdown-jdk 1113762327: === Unmerging... (dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01-r2) 1113762343: >>> unmerge success: dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01-r2 1113762344: *** exiting successfully. The fact portage want to emerge both "jre" && "jdk" is probably related to ebuilds not to portage. My apologies for time loss, please resolve this bug as bogus
ok ...
