Created attachment 509012 [details] one picture for thousand words trying to update my system, I have found that udisks pulls things that are explicitly disabled via use flags probably, it all boils down to libblockdev using 'crypt' instead of 'cryptsetup' (and defaulting to having it enabled), however I'd rather took a look at the start of the dependency chain - why udisks need to pull in so much cruft? (if udisks itself can't be avoided ...) - note that the new udisks dependencies is not just libblockdev but there is also bug 631822 for gtk-doc, and also it pulls gnome-common for no apparent reason (other than that Freedesktop guys think everyone has to use GNOME like it or not?)
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/288 Looks like you are right, upstream has done some terrible hardcoding into the new udisks of several things * Gnome-common + gtk-doc tools * Crypto libblockdev libraries must exist Unfortunately I'm not sure what gentoo can do about this.. I also just saw this in my emerge and was very disappointed by all the mess. Maybe attempt a PR upstream to make these things optional? I do 2nd that it would make sense for libblockdev crypt useflag to be changed to cryptsetup and the udisks ebuild to perhaps drop the flag entirely. Also because cryptsetup requires lvm2 you might as well do the same with the new lvm use flag, which exists in both libblockdev and udisks.

Maybe attempt a > PR upstream to make these things optional? I see that the link above leads to something under blahblah*d* ... in that case, I'm afraid there's no point trying to resolve it with upstream Gentoo can probably fork, like with eudev ... but I doubt there is manpower to do that I guess I could spare a few $$$ a month to support such activities, but ... 1) would there be enough other people so it sums up to an amount which can actually pay some work, 2) would there be someone willing to organise and supervise this?

This change doesn't really fix anything. As said before the flag in udisks doesn't do anything as sys-libs/libblockdev still pulls in cryptsetup and lvm2.
