Can you provide the emerge output of the following command? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
emerge --tree --unordered-diplay -uDNv @world |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This makes it more clear what pulls in systemd. |

Once you know that, you can mask the chain and use an alternative; |
| 14 |
other than that, MATE is in the Portage tree and therefore you can |
| 15 |
remove the MATE overlay to avoid running into unnecessary blockers. |

This happening has nothing to do with Gentoo or systemd; around four |
| 18 |
years ago the development of pm-utils stopped, which causes UPower to |
| 19 |
nowadays take a decision. This results in the following scenarios: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. If you need pm-utils, you either need to switch to the |
| 22 |
upower-pm-utils fork or to systemd; |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2. If you don't need pm-utils, you either need to |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
a) upgrade to upower-0.99 once reverse dependencies support it |
| 27 |
and it is stabilized (this has no dependency on systemd); |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
b) switch to upower-pm-utils despite not needing pm-utils; |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
c) switch to systemd. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Gentoo reflects that decision as magic can't happen from one day to |
| 34 |
the other; while trying to keep a fork upower-pm-utils alive as long as |
| 35 |
it can be kept working given the manpower, kernel API and so on... |
