Hi Jim,

are you sure that you switched the branch of the overlay to the musl one?
Go to /var/lib/layman/hardened-development (or where ever else you keep your
overlays) and run git branch. It should say that you're on the musl branch. If
it doesn't run git checkout musl and re-check with git branch afterwards.
If you actually are on the musl branch, try to force one of the -r99 versions
from the overlay (and see if/why portage fails to do so), by running e.g.
emerge =net-misc/attr-2.4.47-r99 -v1
If portage can't find the package check if you source the make.conf from layman
in your normal make.conf or if you have set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY correctly.

If nothing of this helps, post the error here and we'll see how to go on.
