25 Then the dependencies should have been fixed prior to making this stable.
26
27 I do not use Gnome and don't want systemd.
28
29 I use KDE, which does not depend on systemd. Some of the packages, however, do
30 depend on upower. Supposedly these would work the upower-pm-utils.
31 I would expect the dependency to be fixed before marking this stable or the
32 solution I mentioned to be implemented.
