Dear All, I am trying to update NixOS on a computer which has not been updated for around half a year and since then the channel mechanism has switched from bz2 to xz compression. This is the error I get:
root# nix-channel --update fetching list of Nix archives at `http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-0.2pre4454_979117b-789154b/MANIFEST.bz2'. .. % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 downloading Nix expressions from `http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-0.2pre4454_979117b-789154b/nixexprs.tar.bz2'... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found /nix/store/lplzx6nf17hk2a9q549gm8hi7nqhx58z-nix-1.1/bin/nix-prefetch-url: download of ‘http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-0.2pre4454_979117b-789154b/nixexprs.tar.bz2’ failed cannot fetch `http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/nixos-0.2pre4454_979117b-789154b/nixexprs.tar.bz2' at /run/current-system/sw/bin/nix-channel line 114. I tried to manually prefetch the xz file, recompress it as bz2, and prefetch it to the nix store but nix-channel still wants to download it again. Using a manually modified version of nix-prefetch-url also did not help. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Am I missing something?
