[Nix-dev] attribute 'replaceStrings' missing??

[Christopher Rooney]

I updated for the first time in a while (from generation 23 to 24). I got
an error on most common uses of nix-env (-i, -e, -qa). I rolled back to 23
and everything worked, and here is s transcript of the update to generation
25.

Geany would appear to be a text editor of which I haven't previously heard
and I don't use.

Sorry for noobness and thanks for any insight.

Vladimir, that did the trick, thanks.

Arseniy, I did have a bad hash, so thanks for that, even though it didn't
solve the pressing problem.

Re: [Nix-dev] Using chromium from nixpkgs on non-NixOS

[Christopher Rooney]

You can also run chromium with --no-sandbox, which pops up a warning.
Whether this is safer than setuid-ing the sandboxer is your call, but I do
it because I imagine chown-ing and chmod-ing the sandboxer will screw up
nix updates.

(aszlig, sorry to double hit you.)
