Can't update nixOS flake : called without required argument "build-release-notes"

1

Hello,

I have a system flake that used to work, but when running nix flake update then nixos-rebuild switch, I get the following error. This does not happen with previous versions of my flake.lock :

error:

Any chance you are using Lix? RC-1 was released for Lix and this changed the module.
The new instructions pin the module instead of Lix itself, which should fix this error and avoid it in the future.

I am indeed using Lix, this fixed the problem, thank you
