It is you who does not understand how software workds. See Alan response. |

Again, you don't understand how software works: this has nothing to do |
| 30 |
with "profiles", it has to do with the fact that UPower now relies on |
| 31 |
systemd, and therefore people who has UPower installed now, *by |
| 32 |
default*, require systemd. If they don't want systemd, there is a way |
| 33 |
to do it, but it requires manual intervention since they now need to |
| 34 |
first uninstall UPower. |

It is provided: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
emerge -C upower |
| 43 |
emerge -1v upower-pm-utils |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
It has to be done manually, though; otherwise you step on systemd users. |

Nobody is here to deal with other people's OCD. |
