@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ Same seems to happen with maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-transitive-broken-packages.sh 13:11:56
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)okay I fell down one or two rabbit holes16:03:07
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ Actually I think it happens while regenerate-hackage-packages.sh calls regenerate-transitive-broken-packages.sh 13:14:27
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/400784 I see there's this issue which was closed by sterni last week, I was able to reproduce it :D I have nix (Nix) 2.28.4 14:08:19
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ * https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/400784 I see there's this issue which was opened by sterni which was closed last week, I was able to reproduce it :D I have nix (Nix) 2.28.4. I'm trying to update to 2.28.5 which seems to be the latest on stable 14:11:55
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️Seems to happen also with Nix version 2.30.2 and 2.30.3, I first saw this on my macOS system and then I switched to NixOS to see it also happening there14:24:34

Anyone recognize this?

nope, Linux - but CircleCI

Just guessing, but is it because the kernel has IPv6 disabled via sysctl or perhaps even via kconfig?

Nix builds are sensitive to the host kernel.

@teoc:matrix.orgTeo (he/him)I know the nixpkgs build of GHC edits the settings file, so I wanted to give y'all a heads up that the ghc-toolchain line of work is replacing the settings file, so it's likely that you'll need to make some changes here. See: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/1450013:48:05

@jean-paul.:matrix.orgjean-paul.Seems likely I guess. I don't know how to learn about CircleCI's kernel configuration. Annoyingly, zlib test suite also fails. Seems like that should be less sensitive to the kernel but 🤷14:45:54
@jean-paul.:matrix.orgjean-paul.I assume more folks than me want to use Nix on CircleCI14:46:10
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)Now I'm scared about arithmetic regressions in 9.10.3… https://github.com/Bodigrim/arithmoi/issues/22314:58:30

@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng Can we override argument passed to cabal2nix result with haskellPackages.override?
For example, if I want to replace native zlib used by haskell package zlib, I can use overrideCabal to modify librarySystemDepends.
However, is it possible to just override the value passed to cabal2nix, which is a lambda with arguments { mkDervation, base, ..., zlib}?

cabal2nix produces a Nix script. If you mean overriding what gets passed to that script when you use callCabal2nix or callPackage then the answer is yes: put it in the attrset argument.
03:44:27
@alex:tunstall.xyzAlex overrideCabal also works as with any other Haskell package because cabal2nix uses the same builder. 03:46:00
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng Yes. but haskellPackages.override { overrides = self: super: zlib = super.zlib.override { zlib = my-zlib}} doesn't work, since super.zlib is not the lambda argument, but the result of callPackages. So it's late. 03:54:48
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng From my understanding, when we use nixpkgs haskellPackages 03:55:27
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng * From my understanding, when we use nixpkgs's haskellPackages, we usually deal with the result of callPackage cabal2nix-lambda rather than cabal2nix-lambda itself? 03:56:00
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng
{
  "zlib" = callPackage
    ({ mkDerivation, base, bytestring, QuickCheck, tasty
     , tasty-quickcheck, zlib
     }:
     mkDerivation {
       pname = "zlib";
       version = "0.6.3.0";
       sha256 = "1nh4xsm3kgsg76jmkcphvy7hhslg9hx1s75mpsskhi2ksjd9ialy";
       revision = "5";
       editedCabalFile = "0mj3f7ql54p0pfa5a6q4xv4ci8xf00616ls0nyadpmlqbb4qilwn";
       libraryHaskellDepends = [ base bytestring ];
       librarySystemDepends = [ zlib ];
       testHaskellDepends = [
         base bytestring QuickCheck tasty tasty-quickcheck
       ];
       description = "Compression and decompression in the gzip and zlib formats";
       license = lib.licenses.bsd3;
     }) {inherit (pkgs) zlib;};
}

this is from hackage-pacakges.nix, and I'm not sure if I have any chance to override zlib when callPackage is already called.
