32 there was a change in layman - I never saw it documented but
33 apparently some devs on the pro-audio list knew about it - where
34 layman changed the path between /usr/local/portage and
35 /usr/portage/local. I think my solution was to use layman to remove
36 all overlays, then change my path in make.conf, then re-import the
37 overlays I was using. (vmware and pro-audio) IIRC corretly after
38 removing the overlay probably removed directories by hand, etc., and
39 did some cleanup. Anyway, after messing around with it things started
40 working again and I haven't had trouble since.
41
42 Note that I didn't have any private overlays and this happened
43 sometime back - maybe 2-3 months ago - so your results may vary or not
44 even be related.
45
46 You can probably find the thread in the proaudio users list archive if
47 you want to review what the dev told me.

49 Hope this helps,
