Trying to index the latest nixos-unstable fails #114

Closed terlar closed 3 years ago

terlar commented 4 years ago

I am new to this tool, so probably, there might be something wrong with the nixpkgs-unstable and in that case I would have to report there instead. When I try to index the latest nixos-unstable (b47873026c7) I get the following:

λ nix-index --show-trace

How does the nix-index choose what variable will be used for e.g. kernel.version which in this case results in 5.4.41. Not sure if that is the root cause though.

I think this is no longer the case

Thank you for the reminder, I can verify that this is now working for me on the latest nixos-unstable :tada:
