Don't use the overlay, it's badly outdated and completely unsupported by Gentoo.
Ok I won't use it. How am I suppose to synchronize my mobile with gentoo?
I am also hit by this bug and would like to know what to do now.
Both synce-connector and synce-sync-engine are in Portage. And any libraries they need. Upstream has not released synce-trayicon that works with the udev backend yet. That said, this is no helpdesk and there's nothing to fix in tree...
