Created attachment 383458 [details] emerge pqv The reverse dependency on openrc is causing portage to think it needs to emerge openrc even when we are in prefix. Presumably, a similar issue may afflict users of systemd who don't have openrc installed.
Created attachment 383460 [details, diff] patch A patch, at least to the extent that this affects prefix.
More generally, shouldn't RDEPEND ignore an atom if it's not even installed in the first place?

It looks like this dependency was introduced in screen-4.0.3-r8 to ensure /run compatibility. I would suggest dropping the dependency, and possibly adding a *blocker* on <sys-apps/openrc-0.11.6 instead.

OpenRC-0.11.6 hasn't been in the tree since Jan 2013, so I would just drop the dependency and not worry about a blocker.
