Unfortunately, that puts portage into a proper tizzy because my current
version is not longer listed
as available (sun-jdk-1.6.0.03).  Portage therefore goes into a fit of
downgrades, which I do not want.
I find that I can get stuff emerged by doing --pretend, then emerging
everything except java.
This, of course, is not the Way It Should  Be (TM), but may get me through
the rough patch.
