Re: [gentoo-dev] emerge --world update

Hmmm... that is interesting. Maybe karltk will be able to help.

Some time back he sent a message about java-config that contained this little 
snippet. Maybe it will help.

Looking at mine, I have blackdown as my virtual/jdk even though I have both 
Sun's and Blackdown's JDK installed. If it is the same in your case, then 
virtual dependancies will report (if I understand this correctly) that you 
don't have the JDK dependancy satisfied. Just change the package name in 
/etc/make.profile/virtuals to dev-java/sun-jdk
