From 12699cf858cb4c07641ce63ca2d54e5bd048ca0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Pierre De Jesus DIAZ Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 15:12:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] services: nix: Point Nix to bin/bash. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The nix-service-type will create the nix.conf file pointing to `bin/sh' file in the bash-minimal package, however this is a symbolic link to `bin/bash' in that same package, so when the sandbox gets created there will be a symlink in the Nix sandbox like this: drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 4096 Sep 18 13:10 . drwxr-x--- 10 nobody nixbld 4096 Sep 18 13:10 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nogroup 4 Jan 1 1970 sh -> bash Making builds that depend on /bin/sh fail since /bin/bash does not exist in the sandbox. * gnu/services/nix.scm (nix-service-etc): Change ‘build-sandbox-paths’ to point to ‘bin/bash’.
