The error:

error: cycle detected in build of '/nix/store/aksg7yap79slndh0s0bx5vr422vbzcr1-capnproto-1.0.2.drv' in the references of output 'bin' from output 'dev'

It is unhelpful since it does not list the file that contains the cycle or instructions for how to keep the failed outputs to diagnose them or other similarly helpful information.
