Hello all,
I just encountered a problem that I cannot figure out myself. I switched
from the 14.12 channel to the unstable channel (in NixOS) and when doing
nixos-rebuild build I get the following:
# nix-channel --list
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
# nixos-rebuild build
building Nix...
error: file ‘nixpkgs/nixos’ was not found in the Nix search path (add it
using $NIX_PATH or -I)
error: file ‘nixpkgs/nixos’ was not found in the Nix search path (add it
using $NIX_PATH or -I)
error: file ‘nixpkgs’ was not found in the Nix search path (add it using
$NIX_PATH or -I)
/tmp/nixos-rebuild.lH7Hoj/nix
building the system configuration...
error: file ‘nixpkgs/nixos’ was not found in the Nix search path (add it
using $NIX_PATH or -I)
My nix env is this:
# env |grep -i ^nix
NIX_PROFILES=/run/current-system/sw /nix/var/nix/profiles/default
/root/.nix-profile
NIX_CONF_DIR=/etc/nix
NIX_PATH=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos:nixpkgs=/etc/nixos/nixpkgs:nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
NIX_OTHER_STORES=/run/nix/remote-stores/*/nix
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=/etc/nix/nixpkgs-config.nix
NIX_USER_PROFILE_DIR=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root
I can see that the 'nixpkgs=/etc/nixos/nixpkgs' part in NIX_PATH points
to a non-existing thing. But it always did so and the command works in
the same env if the 14.12 channel is active.
I always wondered about why is nixpkgs pointing to a non-existing thing?
And why is the unstable channel not building for me?
Thank you and kind regards
Eike
