nix-env -e dumps core

[gleber]

When nix-env -e is used in a script it will crash dump:

$ file core
core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from '/home/gleber/.nix-profile/bin/nix-env -f -e nodejs-keybase

If I run it manually it works without issues. I have core at hand, but it seems that nix-env is stripped and gdb doesn't really show much.

I've just found that it does not abort if replace:

 nix-env -f '\<nixpkgs\>' -e "$pkg" # 2>&1 | grep -q "uninstalling"

with just

nix-env -f '\<nixpkgs\>' -e "$pkg"

It looks like nix-env does not handle well when it's stderr/stdout is abruptly closed (what's what grep -q does if it finds a match)
