Using revdep-rebuild to ensure system consistency, it will always try to rebuild sun-jdk-1.5: ======== %< ========== bash-2.05b# revdep-rebuild -- -vta Checking reverse dependencies...

[Yes/No] Interrupted. ======== %< ========== Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sun-jdk-1.5 opera-7 2. run revdep-rebuild Actual Results: revdep-rebuild tries to emerge again sun-jdk-1.5 and opera-7. Opera references in plugins motif, the sun-jdk-1.5 has a demo app accessing JVM internal with a shared library that must be build by the user himself, because of plattform deps. Expected Results: The affected shared libraries of sun-jdk-1.5 and opera-7 should have been ignored.
Sorry, revdep-rebuild does not work well with binary packages. Try the new gentoolkit version with SEARCH_DIRS_MASK set to the offending paths (put this in /etc/make.conf). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 83852 ***
