Description
I am experiencing troubles with replacing udev with eudev. I encounter all kinds of conflicts, etc.

$ emerge --ask --depclean sys-apps/systemd--- Couldn't find 'sys-apps/systemd' to depclean.

$ emerge -a eudev
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I also encountered this problem:
#9116: udev as unmet requirements for kdelibs
#6
I forced an uninstall of udev:
$ emerge -C sys-fs/udev
* This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
* `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
* removing packages.
!!! 'sys-fs/udev' (virtual/dev-manager) is part of your system profile.
!!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.

I then emerged eudev:

The note about the kernel version is because I'm installing this from a chroot environment, on an older system which I'm in the process of upgrading to gentoo.
