I tested skypeforlinux-8.52.0.138-r1 without elogind and skype-dbus-mock on my gentoo (kde) with openrc How did you test this? I see dbus communication during skype startup. Matthew, can you comment on what services are needed/provided by the dbus-mock?

Perhaps they did away with the requirement for systemd? Truthfully, I haven't bothered to test to see if skypeforlinux did away with that annoying new requirement in their latest version(s).

I have removed the indicated dependencies and the program works fine, on startup and on closing skype.

Yep, without systemd. I thought it was obvious that using openrc systemd was not installed. Probably those dependencies are necessary if you use systemd (In reply to mithrandir from comment #6) > (In reply to Matthew Schultz from comment #3) > > (In reply to mithrandir from comment #1) > > > I tested skypeforlinux-8.52.0.138-r1 without elogind and skype-dbus-mock on > > > my gentoo (kde) with openrc > > > > And without systemd? > > Yep, without systemd. I thought it was obvious that using openrc systemd was > not installed. Probably those dependencies are necessary if you use systemd As I mentioned before, starting with skypeforlinux 8.30, it would segfault if you didn't have systemd or skype-dbus-mock installed. I can also confirm that removing elogind, skype-dbus-mock and systemd from the requirements and starting skypeforlinux without them installed appears to not cause any segfaults. I tested messaging, calling, video and audio and all of them appear to work properly. So perhaps the skype developers removed that requirement. Does this still hold for 8.53.0.85? Is there a way to confirm that it was removed by design? I'd like to avoid a situation where we add/remove these dependencies every other version.

In skypeforlinux-8.52.0.138-r1.ebuild the following dependencies are unnecessary: sys-auth/elogind sys-apps/systemd net-im/skype-dbus-mock So the following lines in the ebuild can be removed without affect || ( sys-auth/elogind sys-apps/systemd net-im/skype-dbus-mock ) Reproducible: Always
