Oh, that is too bad. I think I can live with having extra overlays living on my testing box. Just a thought though: would the following be advisable/work? Could I just delete those relevant overlays (either layman -d or perhaps commenting them out in the relevant parts of the make.confs) and see if emerge complains about non-existant packages in my world file or unsatisfiable dependency? IIRC, I shouldn't have any packages installed from overlays for more recent versions than portage offered; I only install them from overlays when the ebuilds are not in portage at all.
