Help

I’m posting here because I have no idea what these errors exactly mean or how I could fix them.

I’m not familiar enough to help you with much, except to say it’s not perl that fails to a build, but a specific perl package.

You should be able to build your system again after removing TeXlive.

As far as I understand, there is already a fix, you can see its progress on the way to unstable here: https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=187039

ah, so it was a broken package in unstable
