No, what I meant to ask was if you have the last snapshot of the |
| 34 |
overlay. The overlay is a git repository (I believe most overlays are |
| 35 |
git repositories), and they are updated when you do layman -S (if you |
| 36 |
use layman). |

Then is either a config problem, or there was something funny in the |
| 50 |
snapshot of the overlay that you used. If the clean config doesn't |
| 51 |
work, update the overlay from git (or use layman -S) and reemerge all |
| 52 |
the installed ebuilds inside the overlay. |
