So, thanks Jack for the help. The wiki coming up helped to but you got

Thing is, I've read a lot of distros use eudev and avoid the systemd

It looks like it wants you to include the category as well in

Just a FYI. I'm showing this here for that package.

If what you are installing now doesn't work, you may want to sync and

Sometimes emerge spits things out backwards.
One could remove those two *init packages but if you are actually
running that install, it could cause issues. If done while chrooting
in, it should be safe.
One of those methods *should* work. In theory. ;-)

This is a very good idea. I had to switch a few months ago. The one I
was using was either really busy or had other issues that slowed it to a
crawl. It reminded me of dial-up days. I might add, I found some that
didn't appear to be set up to sync with anymore. It appeared they
removed Gentoo files from the server. Could be a glitch so I didn't
report it.
I synced last night, about 12 hours ago, without any problems.

you install a package outside of
emerge/portage and use emerge/portage to install packages it depends on,
you have to be careful of the problems it creates. You can't expect
emerge/portage to understand what you are doing and why.
Dale

e,
it can't making decisions about that package or what it depends on.
Neil did post a good solution tho. It's easy enough and will at least
tell emerge/portage that the packages are needed even if it doesn't know
why.
Dale
:-) :-)
r good way to solve
this issue. It does mean emerge/portage doesn't know why the packages
are needed but it wouldn't remove them because the user told
emerge/portage not too. That may be better than adding daemontools to
the world file and much easier than creating a ebuild.
Nice thinking Neil. :-D
Dale
:-) :-)
I'll unmerge it and move on
to other software. At the moment, Gnome-mplayer comes to mind on that.
Thing is, emerge/portage is aware of every single package installed on
my system.
At least you have two options that should correct the problem. Make a
ebuild or add the needed packages for your mail program to the world
file. Either way should make things work. I'd think the ebuild is the
best way but one has to write the ebuild. Adding the needed packages to
world file is easiest but could change if you upgrade the mail program.
Hope you find one of those a good option.

Could it be that the /usr/src/linux link is pointing to the wrong kernel
directory? It could be pointing to a old config that doesn't have that
option enabled. I know I've done that before when rebuilding modules.
It's amazing how it doesn't work when that link is pointing to the wrong
kernel.
If it isn't that, maybe someone else will have a better idea.

If it does, could be a kernel setting. If not, interesting problem.
If the BIOS sees it, I doubt it is a hardware issue. It may not rule it
