Hi all,
   OK, finally getting back to this.

1) The proaudio overlay is once again updating. Apparently it was just
down when I tried earlier.

2) Running layman -f doesn't fix the rostov problem.

3) Locales are an issue. My machine is also a CUPS server for the
network. After recent updates other Gentoo machines couldn't print
while I could print fine when on this machine. To fix that I commented
out the ISO-8859-1 entry as shown. Now everyone can print again.

lightning ~ # cat /etc/locale.gen
#en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
lightning ~ #

lightning ~ # locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
lightning ~ #

Looking at Dominique's suggestion I don't have as much info in my 02locale file:

lightning ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LC_ALL="en_US"
lightning ~ #

I will have to look around for Gentoo instructions on setting this up
correctly. I've never had to touch anything except /etc/locale.gen
before. Maybe things have changed?

Thanks,
Mark
