Poetry2Nix "Did you mean pkgconfig?"

Help

Hi,

I’m using poetry2nix to install a poetry environment using the flake template provided in the poetry2nix README.

I’m getting this error when I run nix develop. Here is the full-trace:

❯ nix develop

       Did you mean pkgconfig?

I have pkg-config in my system packages, so I’m not sure what it means.

Many thanks for any help.
