I am embarrassed to say that I am still having trouble with this upower
business.
My profile is .../gnome/systemd and I have the
init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX so I am using
systemd.

right now I have sys-power/upower-0.9.23-r3 installed (the only version
below 0.99) and sys-power/upower-pm-utils NOT installed.

If I try to update world (see below), portage wants to install
sys-power/upower-pm-utils and uninstall sys-power/upower.

The output (below) suggests that gnome-shell requires this, but I read
the gnome-shell ebuild as permitting my current
sys-power/upower-0.9.23-r3 as an alternative.

If I try to
    # emerge --oneshot --noreplace '>=sys-power/upower-0.99.0'
I get a conflict since several gnome packages (e.g. gnome-shell)
explicitly want <upower-0.99

Am I supposed to package-mask sys-power/upower-pm-utils?

The results shown are on a stable amd64 system (my previous msg
concerned another system that I am slowly converting from testing to
stable, but this msg only involves a fully stable system).

thanks in advance,
allan
