Nope. Standalone udev is only intended to be installed on non-systemd systems. udev vs eudev have their pros and cons, but requiring systemd to be installed isn't among them. To the original poster: I would start with adding -t and reviewing your output before changing anything in make.conf. Yes, adding USE=-systemd probably shouldn't cause any problems, but in general I think it is better to understand the problem before you start trying to fix it. Adding --backtrack=120 or something probably is also a good move, in case it is a dependency issue that portage can figure out on its own. In general increasing --backtrack does not cause any problems, it just makes portage work more slowly. My guess is that you have some package installed that now wants to start pulling in systemd, but -t should identify what is going on and we can dispense with the hand-waving. -- Rich
