Are you still dealing with this same output you posted about on the 26th? |

That is gnome-shell pulling in upower || upower-pm-utils and for some |
| 44 |
reason it chose the one you do not want. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Using package.mask is valid (it's a documented tool and not only for |
| 47 |
~arch - all it means is that you do not want the listed packages and |
| 48 |
there could be many reasons for that) but it does seem a bit heavy-handed. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Normally, manually installing upower should be enough to satisfy the dep |
| 51 |
and keep upower-pm-utils off your machine, but bugs are possible I suppose. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Is there any bugs on b.g.o. about this? |
| 54 |
Run emerge with -t and post the relevant section, let's see why the |
| 55 |
wrong package is being pulled in. Also the output of |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
equery depends upower |

equery depends upower-pm-utils |
