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.
