8 Yes, I think it is. Probably gphoto2 pulls GNOME stuff, which in turn
9 pulls systemd. Support for gphoto2 in digikam is optional, I belive;
10 the easiest solution is to USE="-gphoto2".

12 If you are willing to spend a little time investigating, I bet you can
13 install gphoto2 without systemd, but you need to see what is pulling
14 it. My bet would be PolicyKit.

16 The thing is, GNOME 3 now need systemd. Therefore, a lot of GNOME
17 packages are setting their defaults dependencies to pull packages in
18 such a way that systemd is one of them. If you don't use GNOME, but
19 install one of its packages (or something that pulls something else
20 from GNOME), you can pull *by default* systemd.
21
22 However, I'm pretty sure you can configure out systemd without too
23 much problem (if you don't use GNOME 3, that is).

25 Regards.
