Enableing the USE flag sysv-utils in systemd, a world update will fail. Even if you uninstall sys-apps/sysvinit and openrc, an emerge -uD @world will try to merge openrc and sysvinit, which blocks systemd. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Please mask sys-apps/openrc so we can see what is trying to pull it in.
I masked openrc, which led to netifrc, which led to lxc, which was an old version. I am currently building the newest version. Just ready. The problem was app-emulation-0.8.0-r2. I have now installed version 1.0.7 and this does no longer have dependencies to netifrc and openrc. Thanks very much for tracking this problem! It is bad that there is no "stable" lxc. I had added the former version with =app-emulation/lxc-0.8.0-r2, so when this release was purged from the portage tree, I did not recognize this.
No problem.
A bit late to the party but maybe we can just remove the old sysvinit from the ||, and leave just util-linux? This should make a thing or two easier.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #7) > A bit late to the party but maybe we can just remove the old sysvinit from > the ||, and leave just util-linux? This should make a thing or two easier. This has already been done in >=sys-apps/systemd-217. Is it worth revbumping the stable ebuild for this?
Ah, ok then. Forget about me :).
