arnk It happens occasionally. Usually the server is too busy or something like that. Try again after a few minutes, it should be fine.

That is Layman's error which does not know the reason why git, svn, etc. failed, just that it did. For the real reason, you need to look through the output by git, svn, etc.

OK, I've done some more testing... It looks like you don't have dev-vcs/subversion installed. That seems to be what is causing the failure. At least for my testing.

Does it list the sunrise overlay when you do a
Code:
layman -L
If not then it is hiding it because it could not find the svn command.
If it does, but with a red star to the left of it, then it is the same as above except that you have the nocheck option in layman.cfg set to yes.

Either way emerge subversion to fix it.

I will work on improving the the error handling to report that it failed to find the command it was looking for.

Thx, It works for me. I didn't install the subversion, and some overlay which need it show a red star before it(I just know the means of the red star.).

I think we should add some infomation to make it looks more friendly, like the Xorg.0.log
(--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
