Hi,

after "emerge --sync" today, and "emerge -auv @world", I got the
message:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy 
">=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.09[cups]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.55.0-r1::gentoo (Change USE: +cups)
(dependency required by "net-print/cups-filters-1.28.10-r3::gentoo[postscript]" 
[ebuild])
(dependency required by "net-print/cups-2.3.3_p2-r3::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-java/openjdk-11.0.14_p9-r1::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "virtual/jdk-11-r2::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

But:

- the cups USE flag is globally disabled (and nowhere locally
  enabled);
- since this is a virtual server, no printers at all are used/
  connected/configured.

I could run emerge with USE="cups", but in this case ~30 new
packages would be installed (many, many "libXsomething" among
them). And I would have a completely useless printing system.

How do I get rid of all those cups things?

Thanks,

-Matt
