I think I found something but not sure if it is what I think it is. The virtual says it needs one of the following: sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] sys-fs/udev >=sys-fs/eudev-2.1.1 >=sys-apps/systemd-217 Since systemd-utils is at the top, I looked to see if it was installed or not, and it is. [IP-] [ ] sys-apps/systemd-utils-250.7:0 as is: sys-fs/udev-250 So, I think it wants to remove udev and use the other. This is what depends on the systemd package. root@fireball / # equery d sys-apps/systemd-utils * These packages depend on sys-apps/systemd-utils: sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250 (sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles]) sys-fs/udev-250 (sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev,abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]) virtual/libudev-232-r7 (!systemd ? sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev,abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]) virtual/tmpfiles-0-r3 (!prefix-guest ? sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles]) virtual/udev-217-r5 (sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev]) root@fireball / # At this point, I'm stumped.
