18 This is interesting. sys-libs/db causes the old Java to be emerged.
19 However, I've deleted that version, and then I re-emerged sys-libs/db.
20 It still is calling for the old Java version.
21
22 There are 3 versions of sys-libs/db installed. Could it be mis-identifying
23 the culprit? I'm not entirely sure of the safest way to get rid of old
24 versions that don't automatically disappear with autoclean, so I tend
25 to leave things around.
