I have the same problem like szpil. He is most probably tied with Portage SQLite Cache (http://gentoo-en.vfose.ru/wiki/Portage_SQLite_Cache).

I've released portage-2.2.17 with all the regression fixes found with the 2.2.16 release. I've also removed 2.2.16 from the tree. One regression had potential to cause some grief by trashing your world file.

If you are still on 2.2.16, backup /var/lib/portage/world and

So I usually, or used to:

Check /etc/layman/layman.cfg specifically the auto_sync and conf_type values.

That's the deal though, I have those set and 'layman-updater -R" works but then the repos.conf/layman.conf has "auto-sync = No" for each repo which I change to Yes but then I still don't see the repos synced with portage.

I do have my layman overlays in the old or maybe just non-standard location of /usr/local/overlays if that matters, or at least I think that's not the standard location.

The non-standard location is not an issue.

Oh, did you enable the sync-plugin-portage USE flag before you emerged layman?

If you didn't then layman detected that laymansync was not installed and turns off auto-sync.

P.S. the reason it is use flagged, is we intend to create a plugin for pkgcore, plus add some other management types to layman.

Thanks, that was it. Did the layman-updater -R again and it worked with eix-update. Didn't expect the little issue with layman to be the cause of the rest of the issues.

I had a working local overlay under /usr/local/portage. After upgrade >=sys-apps/portage-2.2.16 the local overlay ebuilds won't work anymore.
I have to change /etc/portage/package.unmask to unmask all ebuilds in locale overlay with */*::lokalesrepo is this the correct way or did i missed something.

part of emerge --info --verbose

I have not experienced any issue like that. Your the first person to report any such issue.

Only thing that comes to mind so far... Is there a package.mask entry for your local overlay?

I have updated another machine, this time a production system. There everything works fine with the new portage and newest layman.
And my own repository works also fine. Maybe it was a problem with my testing machine, in which i don't find out the problem yet.

I would kindly like to apologize for the inconvenience this may caused.

I've question - I use paludis as package manager without any laymen. I follow instructions on Wiki, but I still see message:

The install wiki still advises to

Yes, I know the install docs need updating. But I also need to update mirrorselect to work with the repos.conf/gentoo.conf file in the target chroot.

It is not as easy to do as redirecting the output with the -o parameter.

Also note. I put up a warning that that section of the docs is outdated and recommend it be skipped.
