I do not know why I am forced to turn on this USE flag. I do not even have md raid nor dm raid. Is that because of some /proc/config.gz value? ;-) # emerge -uNDpv gnome These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=sys-block/parted-1.8.8[device-mapper]". !!!

It's a livecd@ package/USE flag required by a freedesktop-bugs@ package required by a gnome@ package. Obviously you did want GNOME.
udisks really needs parted with USE device-mapper, I fail to see how this is a bug... closing
