And how can I fix it now on my side?
We need more information, which exact package is broken? Please join IRC channel #gentoo and we help you to complete the report. [1] https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/irc-channels/
Thank you for invitation to IRC - just created the account. Meanwhile, I found that I still can startx (with i3). Why I need logind? This is a requirement for KDE, XFCE, and multi user access? I like to keep things simple.
Please open a new ticket, as explained on IRC, if you found out which package is broken. (If any is broken) Perhaps we find out that it is just your config. Lets see. Thank you.
For future researchers: I fixed starting of sway on my side with `USE=-elogind` and rebuild: root #emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --ask @world [ebuild R ] sys-process/procps-3.3.15-r1 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] gui-apps/swayidle-1.6 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] sys-apps/dbus-1.12.16 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.7 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] gui-libs/wlroots-0.10.0 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] gui-wm/sway-1.4 USE="-elogind*" [ebuild R ] sys-auth/pambase-20190402 USE="-elogind*"
