Problem building crashcart.img

[brice-morin]

Hello,

I successfully built crashcart from sources, but I am now struggling getting through the next step (Building crashcart.img). Running build_image.sh produces those errors:

# ./build_image.sh

Nevertheless, a Docker image is built:

# docker images
REPOSITORY                             TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED              SIZE

Trying to run this image manually (by copy-pasting the command from build_image.sh) produces the following errors:

# docker run --privileged --rm -i \
    -e "PACKAGES=${PACKAGES}" \
    -e http_proxy="${http_proxy}" \
    -e https_proxy="${https_proxy}" \
    -e ftp_proxy="${ftp_proxy}" \
    -v "${PWD}"/vol:/dev/crashcart crashcart-builder /dev/crashcart/build_crashcart.sh
...
error: Package ‘Agda-2.5.2’ in /dev/crashcart/store/c9bqkl3z13zwsrganhkmrf1d195d57by-nixos-17.09-17.09.2754.66b4de79e38/nixos-17.09/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix:726 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowBroken = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

(use ‘--show-trace’ to show detailed location information)

Any idea what is going wrong/what am I doing wrong?

Note: I am using Linux Mint (Ubuntu-based) in a Virtual Box. I have successfully used this setup before together with Docker.

Thank you,

Brice.

Hi Brice,
Hopefully this has been fixed. Unfortunately nixos tends to break their packages sometimes when building from scratch. Probably worth trying again.
