Hi,

I’m trying to upgrade a 23.11 nixos, but it shows an error:

[root@nixos:~]# nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade

I tried both nixos-rebuild **boot** --upgrade and nixos-rebuild **switch** --upgrade but it shows the same error.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

That was fixed already in

but as usual, if you’re using channels, they can lag behind a bit.
