After deleting /var/lib/layman/* and doing another emerge --sync, only the empty directories in /var/lib/layman are created. My overlays in /etc/portage/repos.conf/layman.conf all look like this: [sunrise] priority = 50 location = /var/lib/layman/sunrise layman-type = git sync-type = laymansync sync-uri = https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/proj/sunrise-reviewed.git auto-sync = Yes emerge --sync also populates an empty /usr/portage, so should it be done for /var/lib/layman/ locations. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: This is the error output of the emerge --sync: >>> Syncing repository 'sunrise' into '/var/lib/layman/sunrise'... >>> Starting layman sync for sunrise...

Layman predates the newer portage git capabilities. Layman's sync capabilities are based on the fact that the repo was added via layman previously. The fact that you deleted your repository checkouts means that you will need to delete then re-add them via layman or just change them from laymansync to git, and let portage's git module look after populating and syncing. So, this bug could be marked as user error/invalid. But also could be an enhancement. I am not sure that layman will remain the primary means of adding overlays to user systems much longer. So, will not make this a priority. I will keep this in mind the next time I am poking in layman's code. If it won't require major re-write, I will see about detecting deleted repo directories and re-check them out.
