Thank you, alex. That was exactly what was needed. *Then* portage was |
| 24 |
unable to download it and the three step procedure I mentioned was asked |
| 25 |
for and worked perfectly. |

Why do I need this sun/oracle jdk when I already have |
| 28 |
icedtea installed? Indeed, the next step in my normal procedure is |
| 29 |
to run emerge --depclean --ask, which then wanted to remove the just |
| 30 |
installed package. I will report this "portage loop" in a separate msg. |

In any event, thank you again. |
