The issue isn't really that upower requires systemd so much as that |

portage can't figure out that it makes more sense in this case to |

switch to upower-pm-utils. |

Sure, you could satisfy the dependency graph by switching from udev to |
10 |
systemd, but portage doesn't have any way to know that doing this is a |
11 |
huge change to the system vs just switching to the alternative upower. |

It is just trying to find a set of packages that satisfy the |
13 |
dependencies and the solution it settled on works, and is the |
14 |
preferred solution since kdelibs lists upower first. |

The real solution here is better communication. There is a blurb |
17 |
going into the next GMN, but it doesn't mention stable users, and |
18 |
obviously the timing isn't right. |
