Today on a routine emerge -uDN world on an older gentoo stable x86 laptop I get the following error emerging cups-filters:

Try in package mask: >app-text/qpdf-5.1.1-r1

and in package use: app-text/xmlto text

remerge app-text/xmlto and then app-text/qpdf

I also had a stopper in upgrading my x86 profile from 13.0 to 17.0 emerging cups-filters and did these steps above to get my problems resolved.

Seems that qpdf v7 has some problems - in my case I need to stay with app-text/qpdf-5.1.1-r1

Switch to libjpeg-turbo if you haven't yet.

Thank you Duncan Mac Leod. That worked like a charm. Someday I'll have to remember to unmask >app-text/qpdf-5.1.1-r1 but we are good for now.

Please drop your masks and upgrade to jpeg-9c instead, help get it stabilised. There are no known issues left and it resolves the issue with qpdf.

Installing jpeg-turbo appears to have made things clear up. Appears to be solved. Thank you.

Yeah, that's the default jpeg implementation in Gentoo everyone is advised to use anyway. See ancient news: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2012-04-24-libjpeg-turbo-by-default.html

updating jpeg-turbo and qpdf fixed it for me - maybe require higher version in the ebuild?

libjpeg-turbo has never had an issue building qpdf, only jpeg-9c has. Requiring a higher version will only work if we bump a new virtual version enforcing that, but we should rather move away from that entirely in favor of an ffmpeg-libav use flag situation complete with subslot-triggered rebuilds.
