[Nix-dev] virtualbox failing build

[Tom Ridge]

Dear All,

Not sure is this is the right place to post bug reports, but... I just
got this when trying to install virtualbox on i686 (see below).

Is the virtualbox package supposed to work?

In general, how can I distinguish the currently-working packages from
the bit-rotted packages (eg chrome browser package seems to need a
no-longer-available nightly build)? Is there somewhere I can view
build logs for packages?

Thanks

Tom
