Subject: [gentoo-user] must/should systemd users package.mask upower-pm-utils
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2014 16:09:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ha33sck5.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)

My desktop is a fully stable (empty package.accept_keywords) systemd
system.  The profile is .../gnome/system and it boots init=systemd.

The 3 june news asserts "all systemd users are recommended to stay with
sys-power/upower".

However update world wants to uninstall upower and install
upower-pm-utils.

Adding sys-power/upower-pm-utils to /etc/package.mask, "fixed" the
problem, but I wonder if I chose an appropriate fix.  I was a little
surprised that a stable system would need an entry in package.mask.

Any advice would be appreciated,
allan

PS I realize that the news item concerned hibernate/suspend so is not
relevant, but the same issue uninstall/install occurs on my laptop.
Those systems have a less simple "goingstable" setup and are more
important to me so I prefer to first change the fully stable desktop.
