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.
