Thanks, applied.

Unfortunately there is nothing one can do to know that the
j2sdk-1_4_1_01-linux-i586.bin is used by sun-jdk-1.4.1.01.ebuild because
it isn't listed there (SRC_URI=""). The only solution is have an option
to pass a file with a list of wildcards of the packages wich should be
left alone, for these situations.

Strange, these two files are listed on
/var/cache/edb/dep/app-i18n/kde-i18n-3.0.4 in my system. Aren't they
there in yours too? If not, see if doing

  ebuild /usr/portage/app-i18n/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-3.0.4.ebuild depend

helps.

rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm isn't a full URI with slashes '/' so it
was being considered as junk by the script. It should be fixed now.

Try again, with the script from
http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/chest/gentoo/distfiles-clean [to
avoid flood everybody inbox with more attachments], by doing

  distfiles-clean -p -i ignorelist

where ignorelist is a file containing

  j2sdk-*.bin

plus anything else you want.
