  So I ran "layman -d ALL" followed by "layman -a palemoon".  Now...

[i660][root][~] cat /var/lib/layman/palemoon/profiles/repo_name 
palemoon

... but I still get the same warning!  Some more info...

  First the layman dir
[i660][root][~] ll -og /var/lib/layman/

OK, first port of call in these cases is a memory test.  If errors are 
reported then reseat the RAM modules.  If the errors persist you're in the 
market for replacement modules.

If no memory errors are reported it may be RAM is not to blame and other 
causes should be investigated next.

Did you run memtest86 and if yes, what did it report?

You can also use /var/tmp/portage/.wgetrc
(see: getent passwd portage | cut -d: -f6):

# grep progress /var/tmp/portage/.wgetrc 
progress=bar:force:noscroll
showprogress=on
# 

FETCHCOMMAND is not set by me.
