Systemd doesn't depend on dev-python/pygobject:3 but some systemd python binaries need it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install systemd with USE="python" 2. Make sure that dev-python/pygobject:3 was not installed at previous step 3. Try to run systemd-analyze Actual Results: # systemd-analyze Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/systemd-analyze", line 5, in <module> from gi.repository import Gio ImportError: No

So systemd-197 have a note about runtime dependencies, but dev-python/pygobject:3 is not mentioned.
*** Bug 452922 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
systemd-analyze is in C now, so I think that fixes it :).
