Gentoo will not complete java update. Problems preserving timestamp.
Bug report has been filed but work-around is not obvious. Below is
what I did:

# vi /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun-jdk-1.6.0.15.ebuild
(edit line 72 according to bug report)
# cd /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk
# ebuild sun-jdk-1.6.0.15.ebuild digest

Try with ibm-jdk-bin-1.6.0.5 instead.
