I'm trying to install NixOS on another Linode host, and I'm running into something odd during 'nixos-install'.
Despite my configuration, AFAIK, a bunch of sound stuff is being installed, and FLAC is failing on tests, most likely because I'm running as root. I just don't understand why FLAC is being installed at all. Here is part of the output from nixos-install showing the deps it still needs to build. building the system configuration... these derivations will be built: /nix/store/0kpj3rl5w9ycgfqs2wb5bikdmyf1sgir-unit.drv /nix/store/4v3x9b21gk0yf80aahy3l6m23l1g66kk-udev-rules.drv /nix/store/85zn8vkpwprb1i7zacd150gjmxmxh3vz-dbus-conf.drv /nix/store/9xaz4r1ivpf4pk5cq4yqzw5bfhk3hz9m-libsndfile-1.0.23.drv /nix/store/iq8rdzk2ybzvpq8m1pvwwb6lsrz6gvpg-flac-1.3.0.drv /nix/store/ja8a6k37a2vp60gpd74gd3y01iqgh7z9-units.drv /nix/store/jc3935zzvkyzc2xq61lflmnqb5420b61-alsa-utils-1.0.26.drv /nix/store/kdr9hr1gdkn1q81sigijry48shgf8r9l-system-path.drv /nix/store/npkljyz5ilgg9b8r45yi384bgqibr4cf-etc.drv /nix/store/p6cr6phxzavm78wk4srgkr8cknw53kyf-nixos-0.2pre-git.drv /nix/store/szj3ha2qac6xkr4wzvgp0p5z1gg6ahk8-system-crontab.drv /nix/store/wy5m4svdmj1gkgyzmijy7z09jfwfgqcb-libsamplerate-0.1.7.drv Here is the error: ERROR: iterator claims file is writable when tester thinks it should not be; are you running as root?

Any suggestions how to debug this? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
