[gentoo-user] Unavailable package

[gentoo-user] Unavailable package

[alain.didierjean]

For the last 15 days, every call to :
# emerge -uDp world      returns

>>> Failed to emerge dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0.10, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0.10/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0.10:

 * Fetch failed for 'dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0.10', Log file:
 *  '/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.6.0.10/temp/build.log'

so I have to call
# emerge -uDp --resule --skipfirst world
after the first emerge to get updated packages.
What's the correct way to get out of this ridiculous situation and is this
package not loadable ?

Sun has this habit of updating packages and not changing the version numbers. 
If you download the file manually, redigest manually, and emerge again, does 
it solve your problem?
