sys-apps/fwupd-0.9.4 depends on consolekit if USE="-systemd". Is this really a hard dependency when not using systemd? I have a headless server and this dependency pulls in the complete X-server/gtk stack. If it is no hard dependency, fwupd have a consolekit use-flag.
seems that is not the only path that pulls in X: !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "x11-libs/gtk+:3" has unmet requirements. - x11-libs/gtk+-3.22.15::gentoo USE="cups introspection vim-syntax -X (-aqua) -broadway -cloudprint -colord -examples -test -wayland -xinerama" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: any-of ( aqua wayland X ) The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression: any-of ( aqua wayland X ) xinerama? ( X ) (dependency required by "dev-libs/appstream-glib-0.6.8::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "sys-apps/fwupd-0.9.2::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "=fwupd-0.9.2" [argument])
and there is also a sys-auth/polkit dependency ....
I'm trying to help with this bug. I am trying to add fwupd without a graphical component to prevent pulling in tons of graphical dependencies. I have created a pull request for the appstream-glib gtk+ requirement: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/9670
Any update here? fwupd is now also used to update harddrive firmware. it would be great to be usable on my headless server systems.

Please re-open/file a new bug if you believe that fwdup is still pulling in too many deps for servers/headless systems.
