1 Hi,
2 Important question. Where is the information for a --world
3 update gathered. I had initially emerge'd dev-lang/jdk which installed
4 the blackdown Java. As I have an irrational preference for Sun's JDK, I
5 unmerged blackdown and installed Sun's java. However, now when I do a
6 --world update, I see it trying to install blackdown again. I removed
7 the blackdown directory (that an unmerge apparently didn't) in both /opt
8 and /var/db/pkg/dev-java. Is there a database somewhere that I'm not
9 seeing where I can remove blackdown (and others I've unmerged) so I
10 don't unwittingly restore packages I've yanked?

12 Thanks,
13 Ric
