All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2 (masked by: missing keyword) Now according to the Gentoo Handbook, this means that the sun-jdk has not been tested (sufficiently) on the amd64 architecture. Can I unmask this package, install it, and then report any bugs I find using it on this architecture, or is there any overwhelming reason why this won't work? Thanks for your advice, David Emmett -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
