If you have older files in there it may be causing a clash. I'd run: eselect repository remove -f voyageur Then check the directory /var/db/repos/ no longer contains the subdirectory voyager. If it does remove it manually. Then add the repository afresh: eselect repository add voyageur and finally try to resync it. Should the error repeat itself, then something must be amiss with the overlay itself and you should report it to the overlay maintainer. HTH,
