Mic92 | Re-writes would also involve a fair bit of testing/debugging. Don't think I have that much time/motivation. | 08:59:48 |
K900 | Well we have some pretty great test coverage in "build all of nixpkgs and see what explodes" | 09:01:06 |
K900 | But yeah, it's hard | 09:01:09 |

pwychowaniec | alrighty then, Mic92 could you take a look at https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/pull/544? 👀
it fixes a long-standing issue in nixpkgs (https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/482) and also closes a few other patchelf bugs at once
