sun-j2sdk and virtual/jdk portage problems.

[jefftang]

When I try and --deep update I get this error:

Code: Select all

malazan edb # emerge -up --deep world

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

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=virtual/jdk-1.4" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "dev-java/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1" [ebuild])

I'm trying to figure out about these virtuals. I search the forums and find /var/cache/edb/virtuals

Code: Select all

malazan edb # grep virtual/jdk /var/cache/edb/virtuals
virtual/jdk dev-java/blackdown-jdk dev-java/sun-j2sdk dev-java/sun-jdk 

This is puzzling because I have sun-j2sdk and sun-jdkinstalled > 1.4.

Code: Select all

malazan edb # emerge -s jdk

What's going on here? I would think that those two builds would satisfy the virtual/requirement.

Just a guess, but which java is active. See java-config.

i tried setting my vm to the sun-jdk, sun-j2sdk and blackdown-jdk. Didn't make any difference.

I fixed this by editting /var/cache/edb/virtuals and making the jdk line:

Code: Select all

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