I just tried to update a six month old nixos distribution and ran into a wall. At one point in time, I was getting parse errors. Then I did a nix-env -i nix to get a new version of the package manager. Now it seems that no matter what I do, some file somewhere causes a "error: cannot start worker (unexpected end-of-file)". This is not limited to my git clones of nixpkgs and nixos. When I tried to remove nix from my environment, I get:
[bnordgren@nixos-boot:~/nixappliance2/nixos]$ nix-env -vvvv -e nix setting initial heap size to 402653184 bytes adding path `/home/bnordgren/nixappliance2/nixos' to the search path adding path `/home/bnordgren/nixappliance2/nixpkgs' to the search path adding path `/home/bnordgren/nixappliance2/configuration.nix' to the search path adding path `/nix/store/nzgli8m8jbmxmgixg2ng5nam837d3fkj-nix-1.5.1/share/nix/corepkgs' to the search path evaluating file `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/bnordgren/profile/manifest.nix' evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element evaluating list element uninstalling `nix-1.5.1' building user environment dependencies error: cannot start worker (unexpected end-of-file) It seems I am completely stuck and may be looking at a fresh re-install to dig my way out of this...Any thoughts?
