My daily update world caused the merging of oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0 (after wonko explained how to handle a license question).
But my next step is emerge --depclean --ask This wanted to unmerge the above package and, if permitted to do so, caused a subsequent update word to remerge it. I then wisely :-) refused the next --depclean's request to unmerge it again. As far as I can tell this would be an infinite loop allan ajglap gottlieb # emerge --keep-going --update --newuse --with-bdeps=y world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
