Description Guillermo D. H. 2022-06-11 20:11:31 UTC 
In all current ebuilds, pkg_postinst() contains this:

RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
# ...
	!sys-apps/hwids[udev]"
# ...
pkg_postinst() {
	# ...
	if has_version 'sys-apps/hwids[udev]'; then
		udevadm hwdb --update --root="${ROOT}"

		# ...
	fi
	# ...
}

This looks inconsistent, everything in this if ... fi block should either be unconditionally executed (as for sys-apps/systemd-utils), or not present at all, depending on whether upstream *.hwdb files are installed or not.
