And @Fitzcarraldo, somewhere in Sabayon 5 the overlay has been removed for some reason…

corrupt entropy databases is not rare eggs in real laptops upgrades scenarios when you do not have access to permanent power sources …

you batteries run out before entropy manage to complete his work and bang! corrupt database … you run with batteries pulled out, using AC source, one wrong move, poor laptop yanked out of power source and bang! corrupt database

can happen!

layman -a sabayon

as layman -s sabayon will fail with the error message:

Overlay “sabayon” does not exist.

Several users have been reporting that error message when I told them to sync with the Sabayon overlay.

Your editor (or the blog engine) happened to be too eager it seems. :)
