[gentoo-amd64] Does layman actually work?

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello again, after three weeks' pain or more.

I see from the GWN that layman is out. I tried it, but it complains about my 
proxy server, thus:

# layman -f
* Fatal error: Failed to fetch overlay list!
* Fatal error: Error was: Failed to fetch the overlay list from: 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~wrobel/layman/global-overlays.xml
* Fatal error: Error was:[Errno url error] invalid proxy for 
http: 'gate.prhnet:3128'
* Fatal error(s) - aborting

gate.prhnet is my proxy server, and of course portage and every other 
program are perfectly happy using it. So why is layman complaining? Perhaps 
I should raise a bug, but I thought I'd check here first.
