Can't install any nix-gaming package when installing NixOS with `nixos-install` about nix-gaming

[NobbZ]

I don't know what the exact error was, though there are various cases with nixos-install --flake, most of them related to either /mnt/nix/store/… leaking into the drvs build sandbox, or the build sandbox trying to access a path thats not in the target store, but in the store of the "host" system.

I have not been able to produce minimal examples, and do not know what the conditions are for this to hapen. Its just observations over the last years(?), mostly second hand.

All of these were "fixed" (better: worked around) by just generating a simple config, installing that, and using nixos-rebuild boot --flake and another reboot to apply the actual configuration.

I am not aware of any tracking issue at nixos/nix nor nixos/nixpkgs.

The error doesn't seem to stem from any particular package, when checking using nix repl and :lf github:fufexan/nix-gaming. Are you sure the source is actually the nix-gaming repo?

[NovaViper]

I'm not sure how I can check where exactly the issue is coming from. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I comment out the line for installing the package from the repo and nixos-install allows me to continue the installation; and I can install the package when I'm on an existing NixOS system.

[fufexan]

Yeah, I've had such problems with nixos-install before. Not sure what's up with it.

I am also having this issue using wine-ge. I tested it replacing wine-ge with an arbitrary package (modrinth-app) and the problem does not seem to occur then.

Since @NovaViper is reporting this problem with wine-discord-ipc-bridge(according to the config they linked), could it somehow be an issue with the wine-related packages?

[fufexan]

Could be, yes.
