I am getting the same error on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye).

I have a fresh install of both debian and nix, and whenever I run nix-env -i with any package, I get the first 9 lines of the above error, every one starting with cudaPackages.

I'm also getting the same trace warnings with nix 2.21.2 running in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 (Plow), single user installation (--no-daemon)

[tuanpham96]

I'm getting similar warnings with nix 2.21.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

[thufschmitt]

These are Nixpkgs warnings that get triggered on recent nixos-unstable versions. I'm not sure why they suddently started popping-up, but the root cause lies in Nixpkgs itself. Moving the issue there as a consequence.

For more context: I can reproduce this with any reasonable Nix version on nixos-unstable. nixos-23.11 doesn't exhibit this.

$ nix-env -f channel:nixos-23.11 -u

This is caused by some packages starting to use lib.warn for deprecations: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e5d9b197e9f13b29ca797e6a0aab21840eab64d4/pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix#L777

[philiptaron]

I wonder whether we should encourage this. Given the UX downsides, I lean towards "no".

[ManInDark]

I'd like to add that messages are also displayed multiple times, so I've got e.g. trace: warning: cudaPackages.autoAddDriverRunpath is deprecated, use pkgs.autoAddDriverRunpath instead thrice (I couldn't see any correlation from number of messages to number of packages).

Setup:

• system: "x86_64-linux"
• host os: Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64, Debian GNU/Linux, 12 (bookworm), nobuild
• multi-user?: yes
• sandbox: yes
• version: nix-env (Nix) 2.22.1
• channels(root): "nixpkgs"
• nixpkgs: /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs

I got the same...

[goyalyashpal]

as far as i can recall, i started seeing this only after i added the nvtopPackages.nvidia in my etc/**/configuration.nix file.

$ sudo nixos-rebuild test
building Nix...
building the system configuration...

stopping the following units: accounts-daemon.service

What if they did something like the following?

  lxd = pkgs.lxd-lts // { outPath = lib.warn "lxd has been renamed to lxd-lts" lxd-lts.outPath; }

This doesn't cover everything; this should probably be handled by a function that adds it to all the outputs, so that a warning is emitted on instantiation, and not on attributes like name, version, type and meta.
