I am suddenly required to emerge cups when I emerge -uD world because of a hard-dep on virtuals/lpr in a new openoffice-bin ebuild. I have no printer and usually print to a ps and print in the school labs. This does not require cups or any lpr. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have the previous openoffice-bin-1.1.4, and no cups 2. emerge -uD world 3. look, it wants to install a new package, cups Expected Results: Not put a hard-dep on virtuals/lpr root@thumper ~ # emerge -p openoffice-bin ... [ebuild R ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.4 -gnome +java +kde 0 kB So as you can see there's nothing in my USE flags that wants cups.
You are right, removed it again. Thanks for reporting
