virtual/jre isn't satisfied, but should be.

This week, I'm getting this error:

malazan /root# emerge -Dup world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy ">=virtual/jre-1.4.1".

!!! Problem with ebuild app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

If I look in /var/cache/edb/virtuals I see:

virtual/jre dev-java/ibm-jdk dev-java/blackdown-jdk dev-java/blackdown-jre dev-java/sun-j2sdk dev-java/ibm-jre

Both the blackdown-jdk and blackdown-jre are already installed at 1.4.1. It seems to me having either those installed should satisfy the virtual. What's wrong?

have you tried to move dev-java/blackdown-jdk to the front

Code: Select all

virtual/jre dev-java/blackdown-jdk dev-java/ibm-jdk

Tried that, made no difference:

/root# grep ^virtual/jre /var/cache/edb/virtuals
virtual/jre dev-java/blackdown-jdk dev-java/ibm-jdk dev-java/blackdown-jre dev-java/sun-j2sdk dev-java/ibm-jre
/root# emerge -s blackdown-jdk

I've had this same problem for a while, but haven't figured out a solution yet. I'll let you know if I get anywhere.

I managed to solve it by editting the line in the virtuals file to only have one entry that I knew I had installed:

# grep ^virtual/jre /var/cache/edb/virtuals
virtual/jre dev-java/blackdown-jdk

Is this virtual stuff documented anywhere?

Thanks. I think I have the IBM JRE (at least I used to...I'll have to check when I'm done emerging), but removing it and leaving only blackdown made everything work again.
