Created attachment 103169 [details] Output of USE="-cups -dbus" emerge kde-meta Bug does not seem to involve cups or dbus (or if it does, there's a separate bug). Results without cups or dbus USE flags attached.
Reopened due to possibility of further problems.
No longer occurs with portage-2.1.2_rc2-r3.
