Then the dependencies should have been fixed prior to making this stable. |

I do not use Gnome and don't want systemd. |
| 28 |

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. |
