[Nix-dev] More news about the nix-env crash (was: SVN commit: nix - r31619 - nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/tools/package-management/nix)

[Peter Simons]

Hi Eelco,

nix-env 1.0pre31616 crashes on my system during "nix-env -u \* --always"
when the following snipped is active in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix:

  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs: rec
    {
      myLatex = pkgs.texLiveAggregationFun {
        paths = [ pkgs.texLive pkgs.texLiveExtra ];
      };

      asymptote = pkgs.asymptote.override {
        texLive = myLatex;
      };

      eukleides = pkgs.eukleides.override {
        texLive = myLatex;
      };
    };
  }

That setup used to work fine with earlier version of Nix.

Take care,
Peter
