same thing here, not sure of what to do apcupsd needs to put a dep on util-linux, with the "tty-helpers" use-flag set. In the interim, if you set that use-flag yourself and re-emerge util-linux, it will unblock emerging apcupsd. Created attachment 349004 [details]
Apcupsd ebuild that depends on util-linux[tty-helpers]
Based on apcupsd-3.14.10-r1. Put into local overlay and verified it forces the util-linux package to be rebuilt with the appropriate flag.
(In reply to Billy DeVincentis from comment #1) > same thing here, not sure of what to do First you have to set up a local Overlay entry or a network overlay.

the wall command has been removed from sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r5 and that's fine, as it is my understanding that some commands are moved to util-linux. However the wall command is not provided in util-linux package (I've emerged 9999 ebuild, that brought to me util-linux 2.23.38-a48c3) I'm not so worried about wall being missing, but apcupsd relies on wall to do his job and thus the compilation fails on configure phase. So I'm a bit stuck: no wall in sysvinit neither in util-linux; downgrading to r4 of sysvinit makes my system scream about blockers (some a bit funny, like this one: >=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r6 required by (virtual/init-0::gentoo, installed) what?? r6 ??? it's not even in portage! [I] sys-apps/sysvinit Available versions: 2.87-r3 (~)2.88 2.88-r1 2.88-r2 2.88-r3 2.88-r4 (~)2.88-r5 {ibm selinux static KERNEL="FreeBSD"} Installed versions: 2.88-r5(07:37:39 05/05/2013)(-ibm -selinux -static KERNEL="-FreeBSD") So I'm not sure where to start to tackle this issue... and messages from ups are indeed useful sometimes :D Reproducible: Always
