Describe the bug

Using npins, not flakes. Building with colmena. After updating lix and nixos-module, I get an error trying to build.

  at /nix/store/p37qxkwfq6mi897d9q7kpc0an9ywghln-source/overlay.nix:117:9:
   116|       {
   117|         version = "2.93.0-lix-${builtins.substring 0 7 lix.rev}";
      |         ^
   118|         __intentionallyOverridingVersion = true;

… while calling the 'substring' builtin

Expected behavior

This worked fine with 2.92.0.

`nix --version` output

nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.92.0
System type: x86_64-linux
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux

State directory: /nix/var/nix
Data directory: /nix/store/gzpkswm2kqhjjvdd7pw0pn2dznhz2qsa-lix-2.92.0/share

Additional context

I don't know why building with colmena changes things. Error occurs even with a minimal hive.nix:

let
  sources = import ./npins;
in
{
  meta = {
    nixpkgs = import sources.nixpkgs;
    specialArgs = { inherit sources; };
  };

  kharik = {
    imports = [
      (import "${sources.lix-module}/module.nix" { lix = sources.lix-pkg; })
      ./kharik/configuration.nix
    ];
    deployment = {
      allowLocalDeployment = true;
      targetHost = null;
    };
  };
}

Full error log trace attached.
