error: path '«unknown»/tmp' is a symlink on Darwin

[camelpunch]

A colmena build with flakes will choke on Darwin, because /tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp.

I've created a minimal flake example here.

The following reproduces the error:

nix develop --command -- colmena build

I just started having this problem -- also with var:

error:

https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9497 suspect related in some way to this change -- realize it started because I was using nixUnstable which became 2.20 -- when I went back to 2.18 this stopped happening.

Same problem here with macOS using nix 2.23.0. Using nix 2.18.2 with nix-shell -p nix colmena works for me.
