Did you try running emerge with '--tree' to see the dependency tree with all its dependencies? (The option '--deep' may show more dependencies too). I have cups set here but don't have java. This is what I get when I set USE="-cups" ~ $ USE="-cups" emerge -upv dev-java/openjdk app-text/ghostscript-gpl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
