Hi, again.

Both approaches have worked out. Masking Oracle's JDK and JRE was a good
starting point, and later on, having icedtea-bin and icedtea-web marked as
~arch (and removing the mask for JDK and JRE) did the final trick.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Francisco

If you really don't want the Oracle JDK/JRE, leave the mask in place.
