Bug 42475 – cannot emerge openoffice: ImportError: No module named java_config

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Kevin 2004-02-22 06:19:42 UTC]

I've tried to emerge openoffice several times now.  I see the FAQ on this and blackdown:
============
I went to emerge blackdown-jdk and blackdown-jre, and afterwards java-config --list-available-vms would only list blackdown-jre. Openoffice would then refuse to emerge. What do I do?  

Solution: 

Code listing 4.3: Solution

# emerge unmerge blackdown-jre blackdown-jdk   
# CONFIG_PROTECT="" emerge blackdown-jdk 
============

I performed the solution (had to manually get the j2sdk docs from sun), and tried again to no avail.

The error I'm getting from the emerge process is:
============
bash-2.05b# emerge openoffice
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) OOo_1.1.0_source.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gpc231.tar.Z
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) freetype-2.1.4.tar.bz2

ImportError: No module named java_config
 *
 * This ebuild has only been tested with the blackdown port of
 * java.  If you use another java implementation, it could fail
 * horribly, so please merge the blackdown-jdk and set it as
 * system VM before proceeding:
 *
 *  # emerge blackdown-jdk
 *  # java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-<VERSION>
 *  # env-update
 *  # source /etc/profile
 *
 * Please adjust <VERSION> according to the version installed in
 * /opt.
 *
 * If you however want to test another JDK (not officially supported),
 * you could do the following:
 *
 *  # export FORCE_JAVA=yes
 *

!!! ERROR: app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 132, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)
============

I tried the solution indicated in the error message, but java-config breaks with:
============
bash-2.05b# java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 14, in ?
    from java_config import jc_options
ImportError: No module named java_config
============


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openoffice
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
============ 
bash-2.05b# emerge openoffice

Please reemerge java-config, you should have executed 

/usr/sbin/python-updater

after upgrading python from 2.2 to 2.3
