Plex + Plexpass -- dpkg-deb error: not a Debian format archive

Help

I’m trying to override the package the Plex Media Server module is using, by way of the following:

unstable = import <nixos-unstable> {
  ...
  overlays = [ (self: super: {
    plexPass = super.plex.override {
      plexRaw = super.plexRaw.overrideAttrs(old: rec {
        version = "1.21.3.4021-5a0a3e4b2";
        name = "${old.pname}-${version}";
        src = super.fetchurl {
          url =
            "https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/${version}/redhat/plexmediaserver-${version}.x86_64.rpm";
          sha256 = "116x1ka5yqk62s3hp06ab89cjx78galbv4f4x6hr1lq32r6lqq43";
        };
      });
    };
  ];
  ...
};
...
services.plex = {
  enable = true;
  package = unstable.plexPass;
}

This has definitely worked for me in the past, but as of recent, when I try to nixos-rebuild, I receive the following error:

dpkg-deb: error: ‘/nix/store/1kpmdvxjccwphv4760hs1vd5dhdrhyq4-plexmediaserver-1.21.3.4021-5a0a3e4b2.x86_64.rpm’ is not a Debian format archive
builder for ‘/nix/store/47f1pzdfackfyfyw0kcx68s115f8bvf8-plexmediaserver-1.21.3.4021-5a0a3e4b2.drv’ failed with exit code 2

I haven’t seen any other reports of this anywhere, so I’m curious if it could be something I’m doing wrong.

It looks like the package wants the deb archive instead of the rpm.
Try updating the url to fetch the deb.

That indeed fixed it, something must’ve changed between when I first wrote this and now. Solution, for posterity:

plexPass = super.plex.override {
  plexRaw = super.plexRaw.overrideAttrs(old: rec {
    version = "1.21.3.4021-5a0a3e4b2";
    name = "${old.pname}-${version}";
    src = super.fetchurl {
      url =
        "https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/${version}/debian/plexmediaserver_${version}_amd64.deb";
      sha256 = "05rixrk5nlmnywb7xdkmrk0zpd1ik05dyzz0b09kd212rahw0iig";
    };
  });
};
