Um, personally, I think the message is extremely clear: non-systemd users should choose between the first two options, and systemd users should just stick with plain upower, regardless of version (although there is only one
ATM, the older one is masked now).


Hi, please tell me - what is a systemd user?

I have systemd AND openrc installed here and I still don't use systemd as my
init system. Am I a systemd user?
I ask because I cannot installed some packages, some require upower-0.99.0
others fail with it.

Thanks,
Helmut
