After adding an overlay with `layman -a {overlay}` and finding that I no longer need it, I've tried deleting the overlay with `layman -d {overlay}`. Mostly this works, but every emerge operation after this issues a warning: !!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/var/lib/layman/{overlay}' This is the second time I've encountered this and apparently I'm not alone: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1035094-start-0.html The problem is that the overlay is still referenced in /var/lib/layman/make.conf. The workaround is to manually remove the /var/lib/layman/{overlay} line from /var/lib/layman/make.conf, but it would be neat if layman could do this as part of the -d operation Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add an overlay with `layman -a {overlay}` 2. Delete the overlay with `layman -d {overlay}` 3. Perform any emerge operation and have the warning "!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/var/lib/layman/{overlay}'" issued every time. Actual Results: I receive the warning "!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/var/lib/layman/{overlay}'" Expected Results: I should not receive the warning "!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): '/var/lib/layman/{overlay}'" as the overlay has been removed from my system. Layman should remove the overlay dir from /var/lib/layman/make.conf as part of the -d operation
Layman has always deleted the make.conf entry. If it didn't then it seems there is a regression. Please include your layman.cfg file as well as your /etc/portage/make.conf. attachments are fine.
plus your emerge --info please

OK, it looks like you have a faulty configuration as I suspected. (why I asked for all the configs) Your layman.cfg is set to use repos.conf style portage configs, so that is what layman is updating. But you did not remove the source /var/lib/layman line from /etc/portage/make.conf. So, as a result, portage is getting both config entries, and as a result, it still was told that the overlay you deleted was suppose to be there. Remove the source... line and you can even delete the /var/lib/layman/make.conf file after you confirm everything is operating correctly with only the /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf file.
Thanks for getting back to me with details on what was going wrong and a proper fix for the problem. I'm relatively new to gentoo (only a few months now, vs the preceding 16 years in Debian land). When I was first trying to get overlays working, I think I may have muddled the instructions at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/Old_User_Guide (clearly marked as historical, but I guess I missed that) with https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay. It would be neat if layman could warn about the discrepancy -- my environment has basically been broken from the get-go and layman was happily adding to /var/lib/layman/make.conf in addition to the repos.conf area, but attempting to delete an overlay resulted in the odd behavior. IOW, it appears that when the legacy /var/lib/layman/make.conf exists, layman appears to register new overlays there in addition to the repos.conf/layman.conf file, but when removing, only the newer-style entry (repos.conf/layman.conf) is cleaned up, leading to the confusion of this (and the linked) user ): I guess it would be a nice-to-have -- it's not really a bug (: Thanks again for the advice.
