[Nix-dev] New undeclared dependency for Nix itself?

[Nicolas Pierron]

You can look for all the dependencies in the way we build the tarball
in nix/release.nix file.
I think the problem might be that you are missing pkgconfig, which is
used to locate the inputs.

I would hope that any dependency is being explicitly list in the
release.nix file.
