72 A suggestion ...
73
74 The wiki does mention that the "repos.conf" method requires a version of
75 layman greater than 2.0.0.
76
77 Try the old method on the wiki to configure layman .... or use a
78 "package.accept_keyword" to raise the version of layman installed.
79
80 I have used the "repos.conf" method, with "package.accept_keyword"
81 ~amd64, and have no problems with the overlays. ( layman version 2.4.1
82 installed )
83
84 Hope this helps.
