Just installed layman and when I tried to do anything I got this: cafetera ~ # layman -S * Failed to update the overlay list from: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt * Error was: * Failed to parse the overlays list fetched from http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt * This means that the downloaded file is somehow corrupt or there was a problem with the webserver. Check the content of the file. Error was: * Failed to parse the overlay list! * Error was: * not well-formed (invalid token): line 1405, column 1 * Failed to read a cached version of the overlay list from http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/layman-global.txt. You probably did not download the file before. The corresponding entry in your layman.cfg file will be disregarded. * Error was: * Failed to read the overlay list at ("/usr/portage/local/layman/cache_65bd38402ac8431067b54904bd2ed2d1.xml")! * Error was: * [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/local/layman/cache_65bd38402ac8431067b54904bd2ed2d1.xml' Looking for line 1405 and surroundings I get this: 1398 <overlay 1399 type = "svn" 1400 src = "http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vdr/vdr-devel" 1401 contact = "vdr@gentoo.org" 1402 status = "official" 1403 name = "vdr-devel" 1404 1405 <link> 1406 http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/vdr 1407 </link> 1408 1409 <description> 1410 Overlay for VDR, that contains ebuilds for development version of 1411 VDR, and specific plugins for that version. 1412 </description> 1413 </overlay> Line 1403 shoud be: 1403 name = "vdr-devel" > Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge overlay 2. execute overlay -S 3.
