Bug 229323 – Why only jre-1.4.2?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-24 23:55:00 UTC]

I'm trying to emerge rhino but it seems to want to pull in a 1.4.2 JRE when several 1.5/1.6 ones are already installed:

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

3)      JamVM 1.5.0 [jamvm]

and both later versioned JRE dependencies are installed:

emerge -pv =jre-1.5.0

relaxng (which is dragging this in) depends on >=1.4 so should allow 1.5

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 2 Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-25 19:02:39 UTC]

That doesn't answer the question; why does >= resolve as = ?

[Comment 3 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2008-06-25 23:18:22 UTC]

You may want to have a look at the virtual jdk/jre ebuilds. kaffe is an only sun jdk 1.4 compatible jdk and when all other do not match, e.g. because you masked them or something is wrong with your overlay, you get what you asked for. Honestly, you're using an experimental overlay and doing so you should be able to track down such issues yourself.

In Bugzilla we care for the Gentoo repository. It is not the place for user support.

Java guys, leaving it to you to resolve...

[Comment 4 Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-29 21:04:40 UTC]

I've already attempted to track it down -- see my original message.

This used to work, but recently something seems to have been broken in the main Gentoo repository.

[Comment 5 Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-29 21:07:07 UTC]

Something is clearly broken upstream, as none of these are overlay packages.
Now world fails to work:

[Comment 6 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2008-06-29 21:34:42 UTC]

I don't see a bug that needs fixing. Everything is working as it's supposed to when there are not user specific masks in effect.

[Comment 7 Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-29 21:41:40 UTC]

Fixed by a recent sync.

[Comment 8 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2008-06-29 22:05:05 UTC]

That it now works for you does not equal to a fixed bug...

[Comment 9 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2008-06-29 22:05:59 UTC]

...overlay or other local issue, therefore not a bug.
