You are still using the MATE overlay, which wasn't synced up with
the latest changes; make layman sync, but if you want to be really sure
just remove the overlay from layman and use MATE from the Portage tree.

Don't mask MATE, it causes more blockers; mate-base/mate requires it.

As you can see above, your old checkout of the MATE overlay pulls in
sys-power/upower; the MATE in the portage tree doesn't do this as it
allows upower-pm-utils to satisfy this, I think this has also been
fixed up in the MATE overlay recently which a sync could solve.

Fixing what was said above, for MATE (maybe XFCE too), will fix it ...

... as well as this; this last thing points out that something is
still pulling in upower, that's due to the old MATE overlay checkout.

The MATE overlay plans to retire itself in less than a week from now.

If you need help with switching to MATE in the Portage tree, feel free
to let me know; this migration is supposed to go very fluent, so,
removing the overlay from layman should work out well.

Thanks, Tom. I have actually looked, ever since you began your work on the portage

version of MATE, for some guidance on how to transfer from the overlay to the

general portage repository, but, and maybe I just didn't look hard enough, I never

found the proper guidance for making that switch.

If you could point me to the proper command set to make the switch, I'd appreciate it.
