Hi folks,
I started to see the following error after updating the nixpkgs-unstable flake reference (I used to have the version from 5th August, which built just fine).
$ nixos-rebuild build --flake ~/Coding/github.com/rytswd/nix-config#asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-2024 --show-trace --option eval-cache false
...(snip)...

If I’m understanding the error trace correctly, I probably have some old nixpkgs reference left around, which is trying to use the latest system-path.nix
and failing to get the reference to lib.meta.defaultPriority
.
I dug into my Nix configurations and tried all sorts to update flake reference to follow the same nixpkgs-unstable, and removed some components to see if I could iron out. But I haven’t been able to pinpoint where this is coming from.
I couldn’t see any reference tree with nix-store
command either – all of the below commands return nothing at all.
nix-store --query --references /nix/store/7qkcm6k8phjcjndpqxh2p6why320dqsq-source/
nix-store --query --referrers /nix/store/7qkcm6k8phjcjndpqxh2p6why320dqsq-source/
nix-store --query --referrers /nix/store/6dxvxz52z172kxdi97bw4grpkhzx4dx7-source/
nix-store --query --references /nix/store/6dxvxz52z172kxdi97bw4grpkhzx4dx7-source/
I didn’t paste the full trace above as it looked more about the lambda func call chains, and I could not spot where this is originally coming from.
I’d appreciate any suggestions, as I’m really out of ideas…
(Side Note: The full config is publicly available here, but because the build is failing, I haven’t pushed the updated flake.lock. If it would be helpful, I can push that to a separate branch.)
