edit: used template

[FRidh]

You will need to give more information. Please use the template and describe how you "install".

[DamienCassou]

I'm not using NixOS anymore. I can't help you.

@FRidh updated the first post. I can provide a temporary account to try the sync, but that really should not matter. He just can't see the python dependency

@nico202 thank you. Can you give the entire error/trace.

It seems (from here and the author response) that it's using vobject from a submodule

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
