@gitkass As far as I can tell, this appears to be a nix issue, see NixOS/nixpkgs#376958 (comment). The discussion there suggests workarounds involving unsetting DEVELOPER_DIR, can you try if this helps?

[srid]

I can workaround this by unsetting that environment variable, yes. Specifically, I use direnv—and so have this on my .envrc:

use flake
unset DEVELOPER_DIR

Alternatively, one can configure direnv globally—see the commit referrenced below.
