[gentoo-user] KDE4 and /dev-libs-soprano

I seem to be going around in circles with wanting to avoid installing
Java just because KDE4 seems to need it in part. I have added this in
my /etc/portage/package.use to make sure Java is not pulled in:

dev-libs/soprano -java

Then emerged a few kde-meta's that I use, like network, multimedia,
base and what not. All completed fine. I thought I was ready to go
and just checked that the system is coherent with regards to USE
flags. This is what I got:

# emerge -uaDvN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,java]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/soprano-2.3.1 (Change USE: +java)
(dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.3.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/dolphin-4.3.1-r1" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/mplayerthumbs-4.3.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdemultimedia-meta-4.3.1" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])

Why is it asking me to change the USE flag to +java?

From the nepomuk ebuild:
|| (
>=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,java]
>=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,redland]
)
So change the line in package.use to:
dev-libs/soprano clucene dbus raptor redland
and re-emerge soprano
