There is no way to solve this. Packages with ad hoc auto-updaters are fundamentally incompatible with system package managers (except if they play nice with the package manager, but they never do). They're especially incompatible with declarative configuration management - e.g., if I deploy a system with version X of some package, I don't want it to suddenly morph into version Y on my production system. The best thing to do is to disable the auto-update functionality if possible. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
