Hi Dale, If I remove the new ACCEPT_LICENSE="dlj-1.1" I added to make.conf then I see this: DesertFlower ~ # emerge -pv sun-jre-bin These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-java/sun-jre-bin" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.17 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s)) A copy of the 'dlj-1.1' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/dlj-1.1'. - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.16 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s), ~x86 keyword) - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.15 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s)) - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.22 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s)) - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.21 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s), ~x86 keyword) - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.20 (masked by: dlj-1.1 license(s)) - dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.19 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Vlastimil Babka <[email protected]> (06 Nov 2009) # Removal for EOL and security, bug #287615 For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
