Hello,
I have the following overlay for the package squeekboard that mainly pins the version: nix-conf/squeekboard.nix at 420890bb3f18da06fa32fb51d0fa857621443f40 · tmarkov/nix-conf · GitHub
It used to bueld properly, but when I recenrly ran nix flake update
for my flake config, and then sudo nixos-rebuild --flake . switch
, it failed with the following error:
error: builder for '/nix/store/bszvgzn96941rig0pj5pp1mwnz4mszfx-squeekboard-1.15.0.drv' failed with exit code 1;

The source meson.build does not require an option newer
, and such is not defined in meson_options.txt.
However, if I look at the source of later versions of squeekboard
, THEN I can find an option newer
used in the newer meson.build and defined in the newer meson_options.txt`.
That said, I’ve double checked that my hashes in the overlay are for the older versions. I’ve also confirmed that there’s no hashes for squeekboard in flake.lock
so couldn’t have changed with the nix flake update
.
What could be going on here?
I did check the downloaded sources in /tmp/
. They seem to be for the correct version, and meson
can build then in a nix-shell
spawned from the package default.nix
without errors.
