 Whovian9369 | Hello! What exactly should I do if I go to build a derivation and run into this error?
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/build/nuget.1U96kM/fallback/microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-x64/8.0.23': File exists

| Whovian9369 | Oh it's likely something to do with repeated entries in deps.json - I'll see if regenerating that fixes it! | 20:00:53 |
| Whovian9369 | Yep, that was it - Whoops. Oh well, apologies! | 20:02:17 |

 Emma [it/its] | hm, i wonder why buildDotnetModule would... ignore a deps.json file? | 04:04:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | particularly, i did the fetch-deps stuff, the deps.json isnt empty, its staged into git, its referenced in my derivation, yet it complains it cant find any dependencies | 04:08:12 |
| Emma [it/its] | cleared out the deps file and i noticed that it doesnt even seem to write to it, it just does nothing | 04:36:02 |
 Corngood | fetch-deps can only write directly to a deps.json when it's evaluated impure. Maybe you're evaluating it through a flake? In that case you can pass it the output path as a command line arg | 14:22:32 |

|  Blaze joined the room. | 02:54:34 |
| Emma [it/its] | that's what im doing already | 23:40:09 |
| Emma [it/its] | hence it not making sense that it just... returns [] | 23:41:03 |

| Corngood | You can run `fetch-drv` in a dev shell and then see what ends up in the nuget packages dir. | 00:54:11 |
