When using CentOS 7, I ran into an issue with nix versions 2.21.x through to 2.22.x, where builtin fetchers such as those
triggered when running nix build nixpkgs#hello fill up a buffer and fail to fetch.
Downgrading to Nix 2.18.1 or 2.18.2 makes this issue stop.
When running nix build nixpkgs#hello, nix will fail to download the GitHub tarball. Running with -vvv shows the following
download thread waiting for 100 ms
download buffer is full; going to sleep
Eventually, the download fails and the following error is emitted
error:
… while fetching the input 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable'
error: cannot get archive member name: truncated gzip input
Steps To Reproduce
Get CentOS 7
Install Nix via the nixos.org installer
Get nix 2.21.x or 2.22.x
nix build nixpkgs#hello
Expected behavior
For Nix to successfully download and unpack the tarball.
nix-env --version output
$ nix-env --version
nix-env (Nix) 2.21.2
Additional context
I'm sorry I can't provide more helpful steps to reproduce the bug, though I'm happy to help if anyone can instruct me on what to run.
