Or you can edit /var/lib/layman/make.conf and change the

That didn't work for me; the current layman script still
references the old location; which is why I added the soft link.
You have to set the location in /etc/layman/layman.cfg. My layman
directory is in neither of the locations you mention, but it works
fine.
Duh!! (Embarrassed) The first thing I should have looked for. Thanks.
Obviously this isn't a "bug", but I guess I'll send a suggestion to
bugzilla to add an additional item to make the list more complete, and
so that other newbies (like me) don't loose functionality.
(news presently says:
A) Moving
1. Move your current content to /var/lib/layman before upgrading.
3. Update PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /var/lib/layman/make.conf accordingly.
2. Make /etc/make.conf source /var/lib/layman/make.conf.
additional item 4:
4. Update the /etc/layman/layman.cfg "storage" parameter to reflect
the new location.
Thanks everyone for the discussion.
