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
