I don't have a local overlay, and the default path for layman overlays
is /var/lib/layman/<overlay>, so I guess I don't have to set the
LOCAL_LAYMAN variable, do I?

The problem is that after updating (by running the command eix-remote
update). I still don't get the results expected when doing a search, eg:

 # eix -l games-engines/spring
No matches found.

whereas it should list that there is a match in the sabayon (layman)
overlay (though not installed) like:

spring-88.0 ~amd64 ~x86

because, at least, the above is what I get by using the
http://gpo.zugaina.org/ search at
http://gpo.zugaina.org/games-engines/spring

So, I guess, I must be missing something in my eix configuration, don't
I? Besides, under /etc I only have /etc/eixrc/00-eixrc which is the
default (all lines in it are comments).
