Created attachment 894884 [details] app-admin/needrestart-3.6 -> app-admin/needrestart-3.6-r1 On my server I was unhappy with the following (unavoidable via USE flags) dependency tree, as it was suddenly pulling in pillow. app-admin/needrestart-3.6 sys-apps/init-system-helpers-1.60 dev-python/docutils-0.21.2 dev-python/pillow-10.3.0 It turns out that on systemd systems, needrestart works well without init-system-helpers present. So it shouldn't be a hard dependency. The hard dependency was questioned back in 2017 when it was added ( #639004 ). The attached patch (which creates app-admin/needrestart-3.6-r1) makes the dependency on init-system-helpers optional; to be specific, it'll be pulled in when the "systemd" USE flag is deactivated.
Thank you!
