bug#42043: [BUG] Can not update nix-channels after adding

Kozo,

It looks like some part of Nix that isn't in /gnu/store still 
refers to /gnu/store/pwcp…/bin/bash, which was garbage collected 
(because nothing in /gnu/store referred to it).

Can you confirm that /gnu/store/pwcp…/bin/bash no longer exists?

If you like brute force, you can try grepping /etc, /var, $HOME 
for the full /gnu/store/pwcp… string.

Kind regards,

T G-R

bug#42043: Acknowledgement ([BUG] Can not update nix-channels after adding)

[Kozo]

Greetings,

Issue seems to be initially permission based but even if I use sudo, it
works but says 0 channels are updated. nix-env -i finds no packages.

How do you suggest I proceed?

Thank you,
Kozo

Sorry, the path for bash still exists and I was able to go into the directory and confirm it's there.

Hi Kozo,

I hope you could sort your nix-related problem; if not, I believe this
kind of question may get better answered when directed at the Nix
project.

Thanks,

Closing.
