Thank you Alan, I seem to recall that at one point I did try Vapier's overlay, 
but it didn't work and then you kindly suggested that I used this:

$ layman -l
* efl [Subversion] (http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/packaging/gentoo

Now, when I try to delete vapier's I get this:

# layman -d enlightenment
* Overlay "enlightenment" does not exist.

Am I right then to assume that it is no longer installed?

$ ls -la /var/lib/layman/
total 158
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root      8 Nov  1 20:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 32 root root     36 Nov 18 19:14 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    480 Jun 11 07:23 overlays.xml

So I *should* be safe to accept the changes that dispatch-conf suggests, 
right?
