Any action that I do with layman does not get any results. I check the files in /usr/local/portage/layman and it looks like to has all the it need. Infact there is a file cache_<some code>.xml in witch there are all the overlays but if I run a layman -L it does not show nothing! Here what I already try: bugsbunny local # CONFIG_PROTECT="" emerge -C layman bugsbunny local # rm -r /usr/local/portage/layman bugsbunny local # rm -r /usr/portage/local/layman "source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" commented out in /etc/make.conf bugsbunny local # emerge -av layman "source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" added again to /etc/make.conf but always bugsbunny
