Now there's another confusion. This just got committed to the efl overlay:

http://cia.vc/stats/project/e/.message/1897db5

Note that the dev says we should be moving back to the enlightenment overlay 
:-)

With all these changes it's hard to give firm advice, except to say this:

If conf-update wants to make changes to package categories, and eix on your 
machine gives the same new ones as the new config file, then make the change. 
Otherwise find out why you are out of step.

having said that, yes it does look like you have enlightenment overlay 
uninstalled and the efl one installed. And it looks like you are now going to 
switch them back around again. Life on the bleeding edge is fun, right?
