Comment 1 Adam Feldman gentoo-dev 2016-04-11 19:00:54 UTC
2.0.0 is pretty old at this point.  Any chance you can see if it works with 2.3?    Might be that the master lists are using a newer format that breaks compat with the older version.
Comment 2 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-04-11 23:55:06 UTC
This error looks like it is failing to load the installed overlays db it keeps.

Is this the first overlay to be installed?  or did you downgrade layman, with an existing installed db?

I'll have to do some conversion from a newer format and version to be able to test this out more.

If this is a new install and no installed overlays, you will likely have to manually delete the elementary repo before you re-try.

No overlays installed successfully thus far, so yes, this is the first.
