Error when upgrading to nixos 21.11

danielabrozzoni · December 5, 2021, 6:40pm

Hi, I’ve been trying to upgrade to NixOS 21.11 from 21.05, but I’m having this error: ❯ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade unpacking channels...buildin - Pastebin.com
My nix-channel output:

❯ sudo nix-channel --list
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.11

and my installed packages:

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    act
    acpilight
    anki
    bc
    binutils
    brightnessctl
    cryptsetup
    direnv
    docker
    docker-compose
    firefox
    gcc
    ghc
    git
    gnome3.nautilus
    gnupg1
    htop
    killall
    konsole
    nixfmt
    nixops
    nmap
    neovim
    nodejs
    mkpasswd
    okular
    pass
    pmutils
    redis
    shutter
    stdenv
    spectacle
    tdesktop
    tmux
    torsocks
    unzip
    volumeicon
    wget
    xorg.xmodmap
    zafiro-icons
  ];

Am I doing something wrong?

I’m happy to provide more information if needed

I had this error as well and just removed nixops. I wasn’t using it anyway.

Exactly, and as stated above, removing nixops solves it

this should be fixed in 21.11, maybe the merge or back port didn’t make it. as of now, it’s in 21.11 staging, but not 21.11 for some reason, maybe stuck in a pipe. I’m still trying to understand the magic (black) of channels, builds and the relationship between the different 21.11 branches.
