Description Ioannis Galanommatis 2012-08-11 07:04:56 UTC

Hi,

Some package modified my /etc/init.d/udev to need /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd and system failed to boot properly as I didn't have it. I installed sys-apps/systemd which required the uninstallation of sys-fs/udev as versions later than 186 provide it and there is no flag to disable the included udev.

Bad thing is that no ebuild actually checks for systemd-186 and expect sys-fs/udev.

Both versions are marked unstable but not masked.

A workaround is to add --nodeps at emerge command line.

Thank you.

Oh, it's corrected in systemd-188
Sorry!
