There is still a broken = true; for cachix in hackage-packages.nix

arf even if I remove that line, then I end up with

feels like cachix is often broken on unstable sadly :(

@teto I think that should be left there. ping @peti

@teto IIUC generally editing hackage-packages.nix should be avoided #67438 (comment).
About the build, that is weird, I can build it on Darwin and NixOS. Do you perhaps had overrided nix with nixUnstable?

[teto]

you are right, I should get some sleep :) How do you test then ? I wish we could run an update from nixpkgs without setting up another repo (see #62105), otherwise it makes contributing harder. And nix-review doesn't work since it doesn't detect a change.
It's possible something interfered in my end results, since I have a few things in the overlay but I was using this PR with nix 2.2.2 and my overlay.
