Getting "is not allowed to refer to the following paths" since upgrading to unstable

Help

I have the following override that I was using up until I just upgraded to unstable and has been working fine for a long time.

{ lib, fetchFromGitHub, pkgs }:

let
  packages = [
    pkgs.ripgrep
    pkgs.gcc
    pkgs.unzip
    pkgs.cargo
    pkgs.dotnet-sdk
    pkgs.go
    pkgs.ruby
    # packages to move to mason once it supports it
    pkgs.java-language-server
  ];
in
  pkgs.neovim-unwrapped.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
    nativeBuildInputs = oldAttrs.nativeBuildInputs ++ [ pkgs.makeWrapper ];

    postInstall = ''
      wrapProgram $out/bin/nvim \
        --prefix PATH : ${lib.makeBinPath packages}
    '';
  })

However now when I try and build I get the following error:

error: output '/nix/store/6p033r3m8zgmil55sy9ms1hln6k29dxj-neovim-unwrapped-0.7.2' is not allowed to refer to the following paths:
         /nix/store/k6yka69n28j47wjhm14h41r2kbv262y6-gcc-wrapper-11.3.0

If I comment out the gcc line it builds fine, however I do need gcc

Why can it no longer refer to that path any longer since upgrading to unstable?

fixed it by using gcc-unwrapped

Actually gcc-unwrapped is causing other issues when compiling c related stuff - I’m not sure that this is the solution.

I’m getting errors like:

error: linker cc not found etc

I found this issue

which basically says to use the gcc package (the one I was previously using).

Why will it not let me reference the gcc package anymore?

This is because the neovim derivation now sets disallowedRequisites = [ stdenv.cc ] to prevent the build time $CC to leak into the output store path. Since you specifically want this you can simply set disallowedRequisites = [] via the override.
