Meanwhile I have found out that the culprit is "virtual/jdk". I have 1.8.0-r6 installed, and emerge wants to upgrade to 11-r2 (strange versioning, isn't it?). Apparently, I have neither "openjdk" nor "openjdk-bin" installed, but "icedtea- bin". Upgrading virtual/jdk to 11 seems to insist on some openjdk... "equery g virtual/jdk" says for the two versions in question: * dependency graph for virtual/jdk-1.8.0-r6 `-- virtual/jdk-1.8.0-r6 x86 `-- dev-java/openjdk-bin-8.322_p06 (dev-java/openjdk-bin) [missing keyword] [headless-awt=] `-- dev-java/openjdk-8.322_p06 (dev-java/openjdk) x86 [headless-awt=] `-- dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.16.0 (dev-java/icedtea-bin) x86 [headless-awt=] `-- dev-java/icedtea-3.21.0 (dev-java/icedtea) [~x86 keyword] [headless-awt=] [ virtual/jdk-1.8.0-r6 stats: packages (5), max depth (1) ] * dependency graph for virtual/jdk-11-r2 `-- virtual/jdk-11-r2 M[package.mask] `-- dev-java/openjdk-bin-11.0.14_p9-r1 (dev-java/openjdk-bin) [missing keyword] [gentoo-vm(+) headless-awt=] `-- dev-java/openjdk-11.0.14_p9-r1 (dev-java/openjdk) x86 [gentoo-vm(+) headless-awt=] [ virtual/jdk-11-r2 stats: packages (3), max depth (1) ] so it seems that virtual/jdk 11 can't/doesn't want to use icedtea-bin and needs openjdk[-bin] which requires cups in any case... Do I need virtual/jdk at all? I don't even develop Java software - all I need is some Java runtime which I can call from the command line by "java -jar blabla.jar". For the moment, I have masked >=virtual/jdk-10 -Matt
