Hello,
Upon routine update of one gentoo system, I get this
error message:
WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries:
/usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name
NOTE: Each repo_name entry should be a plain text file containing a
unique name for the repository on the first line.
So looking in /etc/make.conf I see this entry:
source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
Obviously there is a miss-match?
I have no /usr/local/portage/profiles directory.
I have not used the overlays (layman or Sunrise)
for some time, so maybe I need to read up on
how to set these up, as to keep current?
Any suggestions are most welcome.

there was a change in layman - I never saw it documented but
apparently some devs on the pro-audio list knew about it - where
layman changed the path between /usr/local/portage and
/usr/portage/local. I think my solution was to use layman to remove
all overlays, then change my path in make.conf, then re-import the
overlays I was using. (vmware and pro-audio) IIRC corretly after
removing the overlay probably removed directories by hand, etc., and
did some cleanup. Anyway, after messing around with it things started
working again and I haven't had trouble since.
Note that I didn't have any private overlays and this happened
sometime back - maybe 2-3 months ago - so your results may vary or not
even be related.
You can probably find the thread in the proaudio users list archive if
you want to review what the dev told me.
Hope this helps,
Mark
