Are you still dealing with this same output you posted about on the 26th? Calculating dependencies... done!

Using package.mask is valid (it's a documented tool and not only for ~arch - all it means is that you do not want the listed packages and there could be many reasons for that) but it does seem a bit heavy-handed. Normally, manually installing upower should be enough to satisfy the dep and keep upower-pm-utils off your machine, but bugs are possible I suppose. Is there any bugs on b.g.o. about this? Run emerge with -t and post the relevant section, let's see why the wrong package is being pulled in. Also the output of equery depends upower equery depends upower-pm-utils -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
