This package +is blocked by systemd when the sysv-utils USE flag is enabled. + +Enabling sysv-utils should cause Portage to un-merge sysvinit and OpenRC +if they are currently installed. emerge may emit a warning message +before doing so; if you are booting with systemd, this message is safe +to ignore. + +If you wish to keep sysvinit (and openrc) installed, you may disable the +sysv-utils USE flag locally. + +If you run into unresolvable blockers with sysv-utils enabled, ensure +that you do not have any reverse dependencies of sys-apps/sysvinit +selected (in your world file). + +Common packages to look for: + + sys-apps/sysvinit + sys-apps/openrc + net-misc/netifrc + +The equery command from gentoolkit may help track down installed +packages that depend on openrc. + + equery depends sys-apps/openrc
