there is sun/rpm bug at <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;:YfiG?bug_id=4680244>, and I'm sure there're more. Thanks to Nick Rout pointing out that yum is a front end for rpm, I'll clarify my question: due to that bug, which I probably should've mentioned in my first post, a JDK RPM doesn't exist (outside of JPackage). What is emerge doing which allows it to bypass this bug? if my facts are in error, please correct them. thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
