[Nix-dev] nix-channel --update

[Mathijs Kwik]

Hi all,

I'm using nix-1.2pre2910_b674665, as Eelco mentioned using nixUnstable
is needed on the systemd branch.

When I use nix-channel --update, it seems only the nixexprs are
retrieved, not the MANIFEST.
I (thought I) had some trouble with manifests lately, so I removed
everything in /nix/var/nix/manifests and hoped it would get
regenerated by updating the channel, but it seems only an empty sqlite
database (10k) gets created, lock and journal are 0 bytes.

Has something changed in this regard?

Thanks,
Mathijs
