[Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'

[Shea Levy]

Hello,

The problem is not with the tarball per se, it's with nixpkgs. To fix 
the issue, you can either update your nix version to at least nix 1.2, 
or wait until 
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/5626c5cdfb6de664881eb8b79dd54a8f4ca19b8f 
hits the nixpkgs channel so it will still work with older versions of nix.

Cheers,
Shea
