nix 2.25 also adds a dependency on new API introduced in libgit2 1.9.0. I added a request for libgit2 to be upgraded to 1.9 based on this issue [1]. The libgit2 maintainers mentioned that the dependency issues surrounding libgit2 are complicated, and therefore it may take a while before it can be upgraded in debian. But, they did release an experimental libgit2 1.9. Based on that, I added the experimental nix 2.25 release. So, my plan is to upgrade the nix package once libgit2 gets upgraded in sid/unstable. Is it feasible to patch nix 2.24 for the lowdown 1.4.0 compatibility issue? -Jordan [1]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1092215
