Howdy,

I was updating my old rig.  I got this from emerge. 

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/systemd:=" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/systemd-9999::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword) /var/cache/portage/tree/profiles/features/split-usr/package.mask:
# Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfridge@gentoo.org> (2023-12-07)
# Does not support split-usr filesystem geometry. Please migrate to
# a merged-usr profile.

Is Andreas telling me I have to merge /usr to update the system?  If
that is the case, is this what I should follow to do this?

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Merge-usr

I did mask systemd since I use openrc.  It's never complained before. 

If we had the *full* emerge output, we could see why some package thinks
that it depends on systemd. You shouldn't install systemd on an openrc
system -- and packages should have USE flags to avoid systemd.

I did some digging and it turns out a new package is being pulled in to handle crashes due to I guess a new USE flag.  I figured out how to
disable that and now it upgrades without complaint.  The package that triggered this was kde-plasma/drkonqi and to disable it I had to add
this to package.use. 

kde-plasma/plasma-meta -crash-handler

It would seem to me that emerge should have seen I don't have systemd
and as part of the output, mention disabling new USE flags to avoid it.  Maybe emerge couldn't figure that out tho. 

This confuses me, because drkonqi has USE=systemd support, and on an
openrc system should never build with that USE flag.

Now I wonder what will happen is something crashes since I don't have
that installed.  It's rare that something crashes and in almost every
case there isn't enough info to report it anyway. 

Am I going to have to switch to merged usr at some point?  My new rig is merged usr already. 

There is currently no anticipation that merged-usr will become required
for openrc.

That was my thinking.  I would expect emerge to figure out that it can't
be used on a openrc system.  Maybe it is a bug????

Does:

`grep -r systemd /etc/portage/package.use/` return anything?

is systemd in your USE for `emerge --info`?

Portage doesn't magically know anything, it uses use flags and profiles
to understand what's going on. For this to happen, you've either
manually configured a use of systemd, are accidentally using a
non-openrc profile, or have a package.use exception for this package.

If none of these are the case; it could be a bug -- but I suspect
there's some other override I might be missing (e.g. have USE in
environment, perhaps?)

Just as a update.  I updated my new rig and didn't run into this
problem.  I did however, due to another person running into this, add systemd to package.mask.  That may have made a difference.  As I pointed out tho, there is another thread where someone else ran into this
problem.  I don't know if emerge would expect a person to mask systemd
or if it should figure it out anyway and this is a bug. 

Thanks for the help.

:-)  :-) 

As I just said in the other thread -- drkonqi *upgrading* from 6.3 to
6.4 forces systemd and is therefore package.masked on openrc already.
Unless something really weird happens you shouldn't get 6.4, which means
it should be fine to have the crash handler enabled.

Since on the rare occasion I do have a crash it never generates enough
info to file a report anyway, I really don't need a way to report a
crash.  Ever since the KDE 4 days, I don't think I've ever had a crash handler to have enough info to report the crash.  Kinda pointless to have. 

There is a wiki page for that. :)

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces

Anyway, I masked systemd and disabled the USE flag.  Maybe that will
work for a long time.  Maybe. 

It should work forever, but fails to explain why it was originally
necessary...
