Hey guys,
I've been having a really strange issue with net-print/cups-filters for
the last few weeks, wondering whether or not it's a bug or I just have
something configured wrong. Somehow ${S} is defined as:
/var/tmp/portage/net-print/cups-filters-1.0.53/work/cups-filters-3.2.10
You're right. That is a *really* strange error :) Where did that 3.2.10 come
from? I can't reproduce the same error here so I can only guess. Have you
tried grepping for 3.2.10 in /var/tmp/portage/net-print/ ?
Running emerge with the -d flag can sometimes shed some light. More light than
you probably want :)
and the build predictably fails. Normally this wouldn't bother me (I
don't use cups at all), except that cups is a build-time dependency for
dev-java/icedtea.
I see there is a cups USEFLAG for icedtea. Could you unset that flag for
icedtea as a workaround?
A question of my own: the ebuilds for icedtea list the cups flag as +cups.
So far I haven't discovered a man page that explains the + prefix. Is there
such a man page?

Yes, this is correct. Running emerge with the -d flag can sometimes shed some light. More light than you probably want I'll get right on this. Didn't know about (or forgot about) -d. I see there is a cups USEFLAG for icedtea. Could you unset that flag for icedtea as a workaround? icedtea is weird - according to equery, +cups makes cups a build-time only dependency, instead a build *and* runtime dependency. Also, I just installed with and without '-d', and it now works. So I guess this has been solved, but it's still strange. It might be that I installed just cups-filters with --oneshot, but who knows.
