Maybe it doesn't need it anymore. I also use java but I think I use the one from Sun that has the fetch restriction thing on it. Just to see if my thinking is right, should I do a equery depends <name of each thing in the list> to make sure nothing needs it before I remove it? This doesn't pick up all the different versions of kernels. I still need to check the prune one I guess. For that at least. Gosh, 885 installed. Holy molly. That's a lot.
