Ahhh... yes, that's the point. It's a very, very old 32-bit system, and there is no "x86" (and not even "~x86") openjdk-bin package. On my other (64-bit) system, openjdk-bin was apparently automatically installed, and virtual/jdk-11 was installed without cups, too. So the 32-bit system falls back auf openjdk (without -bin) which needs cups at build time. icedtea-bin does exist for "x86", so cups for build time was not necessary. And jdk-11 seems to need just openjdk (and not icedtea any more). Well, I can't change the system from 32 to 64 bit just quickly (it's my mail server, my web server, even my online shop...). For the time being, I'll try to enable cups selectively for single packages where it's absolutely needed - and in the long-term, I guess I'll have to construct a second server with 64-bit in parallel where I can switch to later when everything is working. Thanks for your analysis! -Matt
