[Nix-dev] nixops based virtualbox machine fails to deploy due to VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

[Bas van Dijk]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy a nixops network where myMachine should be
deployed to a virtualbox VM:

  deployment.targetEnv = "virtualbox";

However I'm getting the following error:

$ nixops deploy -d my-network -I ..

Note that the -I .. points to a nixpkgs with a recent checkout of
nixpkgs master.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Bas
