dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.0.1 seems to miss a dependency to x11-libs/libXcomposite. I upgraded from dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.6-r1 to -3.0.1, and removed the superfluous packages with "emerge -c". This removed dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.6-r1 and x11-libs/libXcomposite-0.4.4-r1. Then a message for a still used library appeared * - /usr/lib64/libXcomposite.so.1 * - /usr/lib64/libXcomposite.so.1.0.0 * used by /opt/icedtea-bin-3.0.1/jre/lib/amd64/libawt_xawt.so (dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.0.1) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries I did as expected, which reemerged dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.0.1, and the message reappeared. I was able to workaround this specifying USE=headless-awt and reemerge. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install =dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.6-r1, x11-libs/libXcomposite should be installed alongside (haven't tested the last one though) 2. upgrade to =dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.0.1 3. deinstall x11-libs/libXcomposite and =dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.6.6-r1 4. see message: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: x11-libs/libXcomposite-0.4.4-r1 * - /usr/lib64/libXcomposite.so.1 * - /usr/lib64/libXcomposite.so.1.0.0 * used by /opt/icedtea-bin-3.0.1/jre/lib/amd64/libawt_xawt.so (dev-java/icedtea-bin-3.0.1) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries 5. reinstall dev-java/icedtea-bin with emerge @preserved-rebuild 6. see message again. Workaround: emerge dev-java/icedtea-bin with use=headless-awt did remove the link dependency on x11-libs/libXcomposite.

Hmm I did go through these very careful a while back. This one must be new. I'll fix it on the next upstream release, which will probably be quite soon now.
Version 3.0.1 is gone. Closing.
