Yes, after keywording several others, thus: ~sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-249.9 ~sys-apps/systemd-utils-250.4 ~sys-fs/udev-250 ~virtual/tmpfiles-0-r2 But then, after rebooting because of the udev update, systemd-boot-250-r1 has come in. I can't revert those keywords though, because then I'd have to ditch elogind in favour of systemd. I really do not want to do that. So I have a running system now - thanks. If this gets more complicated in future, I can always try blocking =>sys-boot/systemd-boot-250. > > On another system, ~amd64 openrc, I was > > told to set USE=boot on systemd-utils, so I did that and now when I > > boot I have no mouse or keyboard. > > > > Is this the end of the road for systemd-boot on openrc? > > I think that USE flag just causes the systemd-boot part of systemd-utils > to be built. systemd-boot itself is just a virtual now.

And I forgot to say that smartd failed to start on that machine too, with nothing in dmesg or /var/log/messages. (I'm working on that machine via ssh.) -- Regards, Peter.
