13 All the way up until the next package which depends on java. Only the first
14 package that is came across is listed as the parent. sys-libs/db doesn't call
15 for any specific version of java. The complaint is that sun-jdk-1.5 is
16 installed but emerge is wanting to install sun-jdk-1.4. This indicates that
17 sun-jdk-1.5 is likely masked.
