hi!

i tried to update the system, but doing a "emerge -u system" stops at the package
"sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2" with an error... it says it needs a "jar" program, but does
not find it in $PATH...

so where do i find this program? how do i find out which package i should merge
to get this? "qpkg -f" works only for installed packages. is there a tool that can
search also in NOT installed packages? why isn`t "jar" automatically merged as it seems
that "db" depends on it? is this a bug?

can someone help me?


here is the output of the error:
