@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornThat’s less complicated than what I had in mind.15:27:28
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterniI think the problem here is figuring out the right installed package identifier. I believe how this is computed is pretty much internal to Cabal 15:27:35
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn You can most certainly not know it a nix eval time. So you will probably need to do some finding through build inputs. 15:28:33

@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng Maybe I'm doing something hacky so I want to convince my self;
did the same thing happen when we tried to override a pakcage with the same version in haskell.packages and different transitive dependencies?
03:28:54
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyngyes this worked03:41:00
@aspendowntime:matrix.org@aspendowntime:matrix.org removed their profile picture.05:46:41
@aspendowntime:matrix.org@aspendowntime:matrix.org removed their display name Eden (they/it/she).05:47:00
@aspendowntime:matrix.org@aspendowntime:matrix.org left the room.05:47:41
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng Where is pkgsHostTarget passed from?

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsternipkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh09:51:35
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni yes this also happens in that case, hence you need to overrideScope 09:52:08
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornA recent ghc version started embedding links to the ghc error index via terminal control codes.14:14:39
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornThat doesn’t seem to work in nix logs.14:15:07
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornDoes anyone know how that can be fixed?14:15:23
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornIf not maybe we should deactivate/strip it?14:15:41
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn

Looks like that for me:

<no location info>: warning: [8;;https://errors.haskell.org/messages/GHC-42258GHC-422588;;] [-Wunused-packages]
