If I’m executing nix copy --to ssh:tornax@laptop nixpkgs#hello then I’m getting the following error message:

/nix/store/3h8pyqvrq9l4m2pz95rshnrd79508m7l-set-environment: line 20: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (de_DE.UTF-8): No such file or directory

I could trace down the culprit and it’s tailscale’s ssh. nix copy works if I disable tailscale’s ssh.
Now I’m wondering why this happens. Does anyone know how to get nix copy to work even with tailscale’s ssh enabled?

Perhaps @Within has an idea.

Has anyone informed tailscale about this? Maybe they are interested in fixing this issue.
