Upstream-Issue: NixOS/nix#9782

Problem

I ran into this error message. There are no relevant messages near to it, so I have no idea how to recover from it. Basically, the error message would have to answer all of the following to be useful:

  • Which paths?
  • What does "invalid" mean in this context?
  • Is the word "unexpectedly" even meaningful here? Is it possible for outputs to be expectedly invalid?
  • Which exact steps do I need to follow to recover?

Proposal
