Cannot get beets package to update

Help
1

beets supposedly is on version 2.0.0 but I cannot get it to update from 1.6.1 which has an annoying bug. All my other packages seem up to date so I’m wondering if it is listed incorrectly but I am a noob at NixOs so maybe I am missing something.

output from sudo nix-channel --list:
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.11

Which I believe is the most recent channel.
After sudo nix-channel --update and sudo nix-rebuild switch I am still on beets version 1.6.1.

What should I do?

How do you know? And share your config.

Using beet version I get
beets version 1.6.1

Here’s my config:

Thanks I didn’t realise this. The bug was also fixed when I updated, I just hadn’t realised that it did update due to this new bug.
