Then the dependencies should have been fixed prior to making this stable. I do not use Gnome and don't want systemd. I use KDE, which does not depend on systemd. Some of the packages, however, do depend on upower. Supposedly these would work the upower-pm-utils. I would expect the dependency to be fixed before marking this stable or the solution I mentioned to be implemented. -- Joost
