emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-java/sun-j2sdk".
(dependency required by "sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1" [ebuild])
I had a look at /usr/portage/sys-libs/db/db-4.2.52_p2-r1.ebuild and in
there the dependencies are:
DEPEND="tcltk? ( >=dev-lang/tcl-8.4 )
java? ( virtual/jdk )"
RDEPEND="tcltk? ( dev-lang/tcl )
java? ( virtual/jre )"
I then located the /var/cache/edb/virtuals and in there I got:
virtual/jre dev-java/blackdown-jdk
virtual/jdk dev-java/blackdown-jdk
I have gotten rid of blackdown recently and I have sun-jdk and
sun-jre-bin installed. They provide the virtual/jdk and virtual/jre.
I have sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1 installed but with -java. I tried
'USE=java emerge -vp db' and it did recognize that I have java installed
already. I tried 'USE=java emerge -evp db' to see which java it would
install and amongst the packages was sun-jdk-1.5.0.06 which is how I got
my masking set up.
Maybe if you re-emerge db your problem will disappear? Could it be in
your virtuals file? Can it be your profile? Mine is:
$ ls -ld /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Aug 11 01:38 /etc/make.profile ->
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1
I dont fully understand how virtuals work but maybe any of this is can
be of help.

Thanks very much, Eugene!, and all others who offered helpful hints. My
make.profile pointed to 2005.0 (now updated to -> 2005.1), but
probably of more consequence is that I do have +java set. You are right
that a re-emerge does the trick as long as I used the -O flag to avoid
complaints and bail out by emerge. An "emerge -uDO world" is correcting
things package by package. I'm currently waiting on openoffice to
complete (oof!), but if the trend continues I'll be in good shape again
shortly.
Thanks once more! I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Day.
Mike
