macOS Sequoia release day is almost upon us, and that means all your Lix and Nix installations on macOS are going to break when you upgrade your OS.
|
||
|
|
Apple claimed some user IDs that are used in the default Nix installation which are then clobbered by the updater, leading to builds failing with the following error:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To fix this, you can use the repair functionality of the installer (thanks to cole-h at DetSys for implementing the repair functionality and emilazy for porting it to lix-installer!):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- repair sequoia
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to apply the repair before upgrading, add `--move-existing-users` to the end of the command.
