If you try to compile gnome-power-manager-2.30.1 it asks to switch devicekit-power to upower whereas the configure fails complaining about missing devicekit-power Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. With a stable GNOME stack try to compile gnome-power-manager 2. See that first tries to remove devicekit-power and replace it by upower 3. After successfully compile upower and remove devicekit-power it fails to compile gnome-power-manager due to missing devicekit-power Actual Results: A broken gnome-power-manager Expected Results: Compile gnome-power-manager fine Just changing the sys-power/upower by sys-apps/devicekit-power in the ebuild is enough to fix it
Post full build.log here, and upower version you tried with. That said, gnome-power-manager-2.30 should work fine at least up to upower 0.9.5 So that would mean you tried to mix too new ~arch upower with stable gnome-power-manager
And also emerge --info. Then reopen, thanks

While upower *is* a more recent release of devkit-power, upower was on purpose made incompatible with devkit-power. If a package requires devkit-power, it won't work with upower - not only pkg-config name was changes, so were dbus method names. 2.30 was made for devkit-power, 2.32 for upower. || dep on upower was a bug, now that devkit-power was removed from deps, ebuild is plain broken.
stop mixing arch with ~arch. stable gnome-power-manager is fine with stable upower, which is 0.9.5. severity is minor at most, perhaps even wontfix...
