[gentoo-user] emerge going weird

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Or should I say portage as a whole.  Anyway, my latest emerge world
failed because of sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 (!!!).  The current one is 1.5 something.
The weird part is that I cannot find any reason for that package to
be emerged.
1) the world file contains just "sun-jdk"
2) "equery depends =sun-jdk-1.4.2.10" shows nothing at all
3) sun-jdk does not appear at all in /etc/portage/package.* files

How should I explore this further?
