That is it. I never set USE=-consolekit. If it is in the wiki, I missed |
| 30 |
it. Thanks. |

I don't understand this last point. You said that I should |
| 41 |
1. set USE="-consolekit ..." |
| 42 |
2. emerge --newuse world |
| 43 |
3. unmerge consolekit |
| 44 |
Since I do steps 1 and 2 before 3, by the time I get to uninstalling |
| 45 |
consolekit, I can be sure that neither pambase and polkit (nor anything |
| 46 |
else) will not be installed with USE=consolekit. So I don't see how |
| 47 |
your last sentence can apply. |

ssh and VT will be sufficient. |
