    No, the “culprit” is that you do not use the binary package openjdk
    and you did apparently in the case of icedtea.

    Icedtea and openjdk both have cups as a USE-flag, but this influences
    only the runtime dependency. For building, icedtea and openjdk both
    need cups.

    If you install the binary package (icedtea-bin or openjdk-bin), there is
    no building.

    I guess that virtual/jdk prefers the non-binary package, and apparently
    portage is not able to resolve the conflict automatically by letting the
    binary package satisfy the dependency. If you manually install openjdk-bin,
    the problem is probably resolved.

    Be aware to install openjdk-bin:11 and not the meanwhile stable
    openjdk-bin:17 which does not resolve the virtual/jdk:11 dependency.

    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

    This is because icedtea doesn't exist for java 11 (at least in portage). If
    you don't need it for anything in particular, I would go with your initial thought to just mask >=virtual/jdk-11 and see if you can get away with it,
    it might just have been installed because it has been keyworded for you
    lately.
