Have you read tried reading the error? dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06-r2 (masked by: package.mask) <-- it says that it's masked by package.mask and a few rows below that it says why it is masked. If, however you do want to install it (I don't recommend it though) then you should put dev-java/sun-jdk in /et c/portage/package.unmask -- Rick van Hattem Rick.van.Hattem(at)Fawo.nl
