And it will re-occur. The problem is that Nix runs on an older kernel of the hosting system. I like Nix for being a package manager on to Debian etc. - as this allows me to deploy software for other users, running on another OS. But sometimes kernels miss functionality required by later libraries. We build against new kernel headers - and voila: inconsistency. I think the only solution is to build packages against specific kernel versions and their headers. So if my Debian runs Linux 2.6.8 I should compile against the headers of 2.6.8. Only the kernel is the real problem, as it is the only function that is not controlled by Nix.
