emerge --info

Several ebuilds based on java fail to emerge due to the same problem:

* Home for VM 'icedtea-bin-6' does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-bin-6
* Invalid System VM: icedtea-bin-6
 * ERROR: dev-libs/protobuf-2.4.0a failed (compile phase):

I was unable to add the build log.  It was neither accepted by "attach a file" nor could I paste the selection into "Add as text"
Comment 3 dio 2013-04-01 16:39:01 UTC
I set importance to high / critical because not being able to compile java make a lot of applications unavailable on my system.

Comment 5 Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-02 08:46:12 UTC
going by the build.log the ebuild isn't calling pkg_setup from the java eclass, as a result no jdk is setup. Though this would be an issue local to this ebuild.

As I read you, you see this with other packages as well, could you please list those you tried and failed.
Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2013-04-02 08:47:19 UTC
* Home for VM 'icedtea-bin-6' does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-bin-6
* Invalid System VM: icedtea-bin-6

Looks like it's either a messed up environment or eselect isn't giving the correct output.

What does 'java-config -L' print ?
Comment 7 Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-09 10:56:26 UTC
Closing as this is the only reported package at this time, if you hit others please file a new bug. Thanks for the report and radhermit for the quick fix.

  02 Apr 2013; Tim Harder <radhermit@gentoo.org> protobuf-2.4.0a.ebuild,
  protobuf-2.4.1.ebuild:
  Run java-pkg-opt-2_pkg_setup when the java use flag is enabled.
Comment 8 dio 2013-05-05 15:22:26 UTC
After the last emerge, I run into exactly the same problem as before — however, the solution has vanished:

# java-pkg-opt-2_pkg_setup
bash: java-pkg-opt-2_pkg_setup: command not found
# locate java-pkg-opt-2_pkg_setup
# 

This time, the package is gettext (I remember, gettext was one of the packages that had had the problem before).
Comment 9 dio 2013-05-05 16:20:37 UTC
I removed the symlink (/usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-bin-6) to the target directory (/opt/icedtea-bin-6.1.12.4), then I moved the target directory directly to /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-bin-6.

Now the VM is correctly recognized.

So the whole problem is actually a symlink problem: if the directory is checked without the trailing backslash, its type is 'symlink' rather than 'directory'.

icedtea-bin-6 is gone. closing.
