8 Something is wrong.

10 What I have:
11 cat /etc/make.conf
12 <snip>
13
14 LAYMAN
15 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
16 source /var/lib/layman/make.conf
17
18 SO should this be (?):
19 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman"
20
21
22 cat /var/lib/layman/make.conf:
23 ##PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
24
25 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY"
26
27
28 Here is what I get:
29
30 # layman -a printer-drivers
31 * Failed to add overlay "printer-drivers".
32 * Error was: Overlay "printer-drivers" already in the local list!
33
34
35 # ls /var/lib/layman/
36 cache_ac494f50f5736be7871962c0dec7b3bb.xml make.conf.old.layman
37 printer-drivers make.conf overlays.xml zugaina

44 ./brother-mfc6490cw-cups:
45 Manifest brother-mfc6490cw-cups-1.1.2_p2.ebuild
46
47 ./brother-mfc6490cw-lpr:
48 brother-mfc6490cw-lpr-1.1.2_p2.ebuild
49
50 # eix printer-driver
51 No matches found.
52
53 # emerge -pv printer-drivers
54 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
55 Calculating dependencies... done!
56 emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "printer-drivers".
57
58
59 Obviously I've got something wrong.....(following too many guides).
60
61 Ideas?
