Whatever command you used to update, add --tree --pretend to it.
This is interesting. sys-libs/db causes the old Java to be emerged.
However, I've deleted that version, and then I re-emerged sys-libs/db.
It still is calling for the old Java version.
There are 3 versions of sys-libs/db installed. Could it be mis-identifying
the culprit? I'm not entirely sure of the safest way to get rid of old
versions that don't automatically disappear with autoclean, so I tend
to leave things around.

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] no
Quitting.
