Hi Corbin,

I installed the newest layman.
After that, it said, that /etc/layman/layman.cfg needs updateing
and I let the update overwrite my previous attempts to get rid of
anythong fishy...
Afterwards I checked that file and it includes the settings, which
I manually added to my previous cfg (conf_type:repos.conf).

I run the layman-updater as recommended and added the overlay
"palemoon". It said: Already added...

I did a 'eix palemoon' and it does not found anything.
I did a 'eix | grep -i pale' and nothing appropiate matches...

Hmmmm...

I am still confused...

Any idea?

Cheers
Meino
