[Nix-dev] Rolling my own Danish Aspell package

[Mads Lindstrøm]

Hi

I am new to NixOS, but got quickly up and running in a VirtualBox guest..
Thanx for a great system.

However, there is no Nix package for a Danish Aspell dictionary. I
therefore tried to roll my own. I have followed the guide here
https://nixos.org/wiki/Contributing_to_nixpkgs. I have got a local Git
repository and added the Danish dictionary. I can compile the Danish Aspell
dictionary using:

> nix-build -A aspellDicts.da
/nix/store/nclzkzg7q9w1bfcnpkzd903rrhwy00xv-aspell-dict-da-1.4.42-1

But when I try to install it to my local user environment:

> nix-build -f . iA aspellDicts.da
error: assertion failed at
"/home/mads/nix_devel/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix":4875:15

It is not just my new dictionary, but all packages which fails installing
using the command above. With or without my changes to my local nixpkgs
repository.

My ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix contains:

{ allowUnfree = true; allowBroken = true; }


Can anybody help me to remedy the problem above?


Best Regards,

Mads Lindstrøm
