Another possible clue. Why is emerge saying it wants to pull in icedtea6-bin? - Mark lightning ~ # emerge -p --depclean * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always * be kept. They can be manually added to this set with * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`. Packages that are listed in * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by * depclean, even if they are part of the world set. * * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved. As a * consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update * --newuse --deep @system @world` prior to depclean. Calculating dependencies... done! * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to * the following required packages not being installed: * * dev-java/icedtea6-bin pulled in by: * net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.19 * * dev-java/icedtea6-bin pulled in by: * sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2-r1 * * dev-java/icedtea6-bin pulled in by: * virtual/jdk-1.6.0-r2 * * dev-java/icedtea6-bin pulled in by: * www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.5 * * dev-java/icedtea6-bin pulled in by: * net-dns/libidn-1.5-r1
