Package: src:nix Version: 2.24.9+dfsg-1 Severity: serious
Dear maintainer: The new nix release contains this in the build log: warning: error: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Could not resolve hostname (6); retrying in 345 ms warning: error: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Could not resolve hostname (6); retrying in 608 ms warning: error: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Could not resolve hostname (6); retrying in 1363 ms warning: error: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Could not resolve hostname (6); retrying in 2664 ms warning: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Could not resolve hostname (6) See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=nix&arch=all&ver=2.24.9%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1728680246&raw=0 When not using the unshare backend, the message is slightly different: warning: unable to download 'https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info': Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77) Trying to access Internet (with or without success) is not allowed by policy, even if it does not make the package to FTBFS. Note: In this case, the attempt does not make the build to fail. Maybe it might be worth to configure the package so that these kind of attempts are fatal, then the problem would be caught earlier. Thanks.
