12 What is the exact, full path to this ebuild? And what is the exact, full
13 value of PORTDIR_OVERLAY as reported by emerge --info?
14
15 Here's an example from my system:
16 $ emerge --info | grep OVERLAY
17 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
18 $ ls /usr/local/portage/media-video/andrew/andrew-1.2.ebuild
19 /usr/local/portage/media-video/andrew/andrew-1.2.ebuild
