Hi,

trying to update my system portage comes to a halt apparently because of issues with systemd-utils and systemd-tmpfiles:
:
Some packages are being pulled in from the poly-c overlay, which did not cause much trouble in the past. Anyway here is the mentioned abbreviated output:

Code:

emerge -pvuDU --oneshot sys-fs/udev
  (sys-apps/systemd-utils-250.5:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    sys-apps/systemd-utils required by @selected
    sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] required by (virtual/tmpfiles-0-r3:0/0::poly-c, installed) USE="" ABI_X86="(64)"
    sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] required by (sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="" ABI_X86="(64)"

  (sys-fs/udev-251:0/0::poly-c, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    >=sys-fs/udev-250.4[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] (>=sys-fs/udev-250.4[abi_x86_32(-),abi_x86_64(-)]) required by (virtual/libudev-232-r7:0/1::poly-c, installed) USE="-systemd" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)"
    >=sys-fs/udev-250.4 required by (virtual/udev-217-r5:0/0::poly-c, installed) USE="" ABI_X86="(64)"
    sys-fs/udev
    sys-fs/udev required by @selected


So what shoud I make out of this, although I did read the news item regarding the need for the "systemd-*"-packages, I am pretty confused on how to get out of this.

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Andreas

I suggest masking udev and relevant packages from the poly-c overlay.

You should also emerge --deselect sys-fs/udev and instead enable the udev use flag for systemd-utils in package.use.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.

Thanks, solved it by masking the

Code:
>sys-fs/udev-250
>sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250


for the time being.

As a side note, I am aware that these now masked versions reside in an overlay, but anyhow corresponding the output has been produced by supported software and was quite unreadable at least for me.

Kind regards,

Andreas

You were advised to mask the versions in the overlay, not all versions newer than a mark. The mask you used will prevent receiving any future updates to those packages in the ::gentoo repository. Eventually, this will cause a problem. I suggest you change the mask to be as sam_ suggested, and block only the versions in the ::poly-c overlay.
