Tarball contains an unexpected number of top-level files

Help

Hello, I’ve tried to find out why I get the error error: tarball ‘``https://github.com/lat9nq/tzdb_to_nx/releases/download/221202/221202.zip’`` contains an unexpected number of top-level files when running nix run github:simonwjackson/citron.nix directly. ( GitHub - simonwjackson/citron.nix: Nix package for Citron Nintendo Switch emulator )

Researching the problem a solution was merged in July 2024 (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11195), so I wonder what the hell is going on (I’m on 25.11). Can anyone help with why I’m getting this error? simonwjacksons flake is as far as I can tell very recent.

nix-env --version?

nix-env (Lix, like Nix) 2.93.3

Try real Nix. Lix probably doesn’t have the fix; they branched from Nix 2.18, and the fix appeared in Nix 2.21.

Cheers for the info, I’m sharing my flake with others and that change was not something I was aware of.
