sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] creates dependencies on appropriate acct-group entries needed for the udev rules contained within the package. The sys-fs/eudev ebuild does not contain these dependencies, and so the dependency tracking of the groups is not maintained. This is not critical as Gentoo OpenRC stage3 blobs are distributed with sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] and the groups are created as already as a result. However, for completeness, the groups should be handled the same as any other udev provider. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install new Gentoo system from a fresh OpenRC stage3 2. Switch from systemd-utils[udev] to eudev 3. emerge --depclean --with-bdeps=y Actual Results: The following group packages are removed by depclean (removed "=acct-group/" for brevity): dialout-0-r1 kmem-0-r1 sgx-0 tape-0-r1 cdrom-0-r1 lp-0-r1 floppy-0 video-0-r1 usb-0-r1 disk-0-r1 audio-0-r1 tty-0-r1 Expected Results: These group packages are being removed (and SHOULD NOT be removed, as they are used in eudev udev rules): kmem, tape, cdrom, lp, floppy, video, usb, disk, audio, tty These group packages are NOT apparently used within eudev udev rules (and CAN be removed): dialout, sgx For each of the groups listed, went to /lib/udev/rules.d, and did a: grep GROUP * | grep {group-name} Verified those groups that were actually used in eudev's udev rules. Will provide additional information (such as emerge --info) upon request, in order to keep this report as brief as possible. I have checked the ebuilds for all current sys-fs/eudev and they are all missing these acct-group/* dependencies. Thee additional dependencies (RDEPENDs) should follow the ones in the ebuilds for acct-group/{input,kvm,render}. Specifically: acct-group/audio acct-group/cdrom acct-group/disk acct-group/floppy acct-group/kmem acct-group/lp acct-group/usb acct-group/tape acct-group/tty acct-group/video This would keep the ebuild for eudev consistent with the one for systemd-utils.
I just re-re-read my description and the last part may be slightly unclear - I am suggesting that the RDEPENDs in the ebuilds for sys-fs/eudev be modified, not the ones for acct-group. Just to make sure that this is clear. Sorry for the followup.
