If the package just moved from media-tv to virtual it's easy: You should make a private overlay and copy the ebuild with the dependency there: mkdir /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/ mkdir /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/profile echo "myoverlay" > /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/profile/repo_name # Overlay is ready # add /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/ to /var/lib/layman/make.conf (using you favorite editor. If you make it the last entry it'll override other overlays. mkdir /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/<package-category> #e.g. media-video for package-category cp -r <upstream-overlay/<package-category>/<package> /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/<package-category> # e.g. cp -r /var/lib/layman/mythtv/media-video/mythtv /var/lib/layman/myoverlay/media-video Afterwards edit the ebuild with your favourite editor an replace the media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-headers with virtual/linuxtv-dvb-headers Then do (inside the directory of the package inside you own overlay): ebuild <package-name> manifest then emerge and you're ready. You could send your modified ebuild to the mythtv-overlay maintainer/owner. Some explanations: I would recommend creating an own overlay so you don't get problems on sync. If multiple packages are concerned you'll have to repeat the procedure (except the overlay creation) for each of them. If the package was'nt moved, but really changed, it may not be enough to get everything working... Hope that helps!
