[Nix-dev] Nix on Debian, curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'nix.cs.uu.nl'

[Christian Wagner]

Hi,

curl often gives an error when trying to download source-code from within a
nix-expression:

     curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'nix.cs.uu.nl'

This only happens with Nix expressions on Debian Etch, but never happens in
NixOS.

On Debian, I also get an error when using the wget installed in nix-store:

     Resolving www.crosswire.org... failed: Name or service not known.

but it works if I run /usr/bin/wget

Is this a bug or does it have something to do with my Nix setup on Debian?

Blessings,

Christian
