No, what I meant to ask was if you have the last snapshot of the
overlay. The overlay is a git repository (I believe most overlays are
git repositories), and they are updated when you do layman -S (if you
use layman).

Then is either a config problem, or there was something funny in the
snapshot of the overlay that you used. If the clean config doesn't
work, update the overlay from git (or use layman -S) and reemerge all
the installed ebuilds inside the overlay.
