emerge -avuD @world
| Code: |
[blocks B ] sys-apps/hwids[udev] ("sys-apps/hwids[udev]" is soft blocking sys-apps/systemd-249.6-r1)
|
editing package.mask with
sys-app/hwids -udev
| Code: |
!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/hwids from @selected ... done!
!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "sys-apps/hwids" has unmet requirements.
- sys-apps/hwids-20210613-r2::gentoo USE="net pci systemd usb -udev" ABI_X86="(64)"
The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
systemd? ( udev )
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

Still not clear what to do. Remove hwids? Replace with hwdata?
Is the data hwids provided now in systemd? |

maybe also
| Code: |
USE="-systemd" emerge -1av hwids
|
The same happened to me today during update.
hwids[udev] was blocking sys-fs/udev and it was auto removed.
I didnt notice any adverse effect though after rebooting.
Maybe a news item would be very cool.

What for? It is resolved automatically.
| Code: | [uninstall ] sys-apps/hwids-20210613-r2 USE="net pci udev usb -systemd"
[blocks b ] sys-apps/hwids[udev] ("sys-apps/hwids[udev]" is soft blocking sys-fs/udev-249.6-r1) |

Your system has hundreds of libraries installed that you do not directly care about. Dependencies change from time to time.
- If one of those libraries were slated for removal on --depclean, that implies your system does not need it anymore.
- If it is slated for removal by soft blocker that is a strong hint some other package is taking its place, and the old one would be colliding with the package replacing it.
If there is no news item about it, that is a strong hint you can safely let portage have its way. |

Thanks for the reply.
But for xample recently --i think it was a libva update--we were left without any libva-intel-driver as it was depcleaned.
Since then i am extra careful also hearing about this
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1145902-highlight-.html
But thanks for the reassurance anyway.

libva-intel-driver as well as libva-intel-media-driver are happily coexisting in the tree. The only thing that happens
libva-intel-driver used to be a dependence so there was no need to have it in the world. Now both of them are on the same
footing, not a dependence of anything, and you need to install them by hand. Which one you need depends on your card
and on the intel driver you are using. You need VIDEO_CARDS='iris' for a newer libva-intel-media-driver |
