A typical fix would involve pinning the package to a specific version (e.g. see #151202)

[layus]

My fix in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/151576 is not the same as #151202. Is there a very good reason to prefer one over the other ?

[vcunat]

Well, I like trying to keep it away from the huge top-level file. (which is e.g. harder to use in git)

[wucke13]

Re. pivx, I think we should mark it broken. Our current version is very old (and therefore useless), and the new version includes a rust build. I don't have the capacity to fix this ATM.

[doronbehar]

In my case, what broke it was the update from boost175 to boost177. Fix is in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/151864 .

[vcunat]

It's in the master branch now, so please target any further fixes there as well (unless they're a mass rebuild, etc.)

colobot fixed with #153130

FYI, ledger has some broken behavior with the new boost version, although it curiously doesn't cause a test failure: ledger/ledger#2075.

[vcunat]

Our ledger expression does not attempt to run tests.

[bcc32]

Ah, that would be why, thanks. Nevertheless, the binary exhibits the same problem described in that issue in interactive use.
