The link target does not have to exist upon link creation. I think it's telling you that '/var/tmp/portage/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/image//usr/lib/jvm/' does not exist. But I don't see why.
Hm there's a 'dosym' command which AFAIK should create the directories needed to contain the link, so should not really fail. Just noticed your "Portage 2.0.54" - that's too old for java stuff. There's even explicit DEPEND on >=portage-2.1 so it's pretty weird it lets you emerge sun-jdk with this version.
Hmm right, just as I though, the DEPEND restriction to >=2.1 for VM's was added just because of this problem - https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3415514 Maybe dosym is broken in this portage version, dunno. Well it's not in the tree anymore so guess nobody will fix it. Except if it happens with 2.0.51.22-r3 which is the only 2.0* in tree. 2.1 is fine
The funny thing is that I am doing an `emerge -u portage` which wants to update my Java because of dependencies (sys-libs/db).. Let me try updating portage without the Java dep and then try to install Java.

To me it seems that emerge -u does not check that required deps are satisfied.
The merge worked with the newest portage.
(In reply to comment #6) > To me it seems that emerge -u does not check that required deps are satisfied. Could be an attempt to break out of circular deps. Maybe we could add a dodir before the dosym just in case, although not systematic solution. Would probably move the problem to sys-libs/db which depends on 2.1.x (or what we have now for proper env handling :) via eclass.
(In reply to comment #8) > (In reply to comment #6) > > To me it seems that emerge -u does not check that required deps are satisfied. > > Could be an attempt to break out of circular deps. Could be. You need at least portage-2.1.2 to guarantee that all deps are satisfied.
seems to be fixed, up to that not in tree anymore
