Start conflict "elogind" vs "fwupd"
Greetings,

since my last routine Gentoo upgrade on 2021-02-01 "fwupd" is no longer
started in the "default" run level. Reason is that "fwupd" erroneously
thinks its prerequisite "elogind" is not yet running, starts it again,
interprets the error message "already started" and the non-zero exit
code as "not startable", and gives in. In order to allow "fwupd" to
start" I had to -- temporarily -- remove the "elogind" prerequisite in
file "/etc/init.d/fwupd".

Did anybody else observe this behaviour? Is this a known problem?

Sincerely,
Rainer
