When creating a new mobile broadband connection with the plasma network manager connection editor, it tries to find a file containing provider information somewhere in /usr/share/... . The build recipe contains a patch to fix the lookup path such that it finds the file in the corresponding package, probably added due to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9389 . The actual lookup path is injected into the patch file with substituteAll. With commit a31d98f3120e0f676303b7fc3e84424e6b325290 , the variable name used in subsituteAll changed from mobile_broadband_provider_info to mobile-broadband-provider-info (underscores in package names turned into dashes). Apparently, substituteAll can't handle dashes in variable names. Consequently, the variable name was no longer resolved. plasma-nm failed to create new mobile broadband connections; the connection creator silently exited and logged the error > plasma-nm: Error opening providers file "@mobile-broadband-provider-info@/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml" This commit keeps the dashes in package names, but it restores the underscores in the variable used by substituteAll, thereby ensuring the variable gets resolved properly.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
