[gentoo-user] strange block issue

[gentoo-user] strange block issue

[Zhang Weiwu]

I was told virtual/jre-1.6, a package that I do /not/ have installed, is blocking another package.

How do I manage to install dev-java/jdictrayapi? Thanks for hints in advance!
 
zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ sudo emerge -av dev-java/jdictrayapi

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Try masking virtual/jre-1.6

Also, it might be worth checking if the jdictrayapi has be included in
the Java 6 jdk, which would account for the block.

You are right, I guess the software could not work with jre 1.5. I
replaced my JRE 1.6 with JRE 1.5, but still hit a problem (could be a
different one)

In fact I always got a feeling with gentoo I often "emerge and pray"...
