Nixpkgs: haskellPackages.postgrest broken

Created on 5 Mar 2020 · 8Comments · Source: NixOS/nixpkgs

It's because configurator-pg is broken and can't see base libraries for some reason. We know from #37442 that postgrest 6.0+ works and fixing configurator-pg (and any other surprises) should fix postgrest.

[cody@nixos:~/nixpkgs]$ nix-build -A haskellPackages.postgrest

can't see base libraries for some reason

Here's the error in question:

Setup: Encountered missing or private dependencies:
base >=4.8.2 && <4.13
...
builder for '/nix/store/mjcbv7sffywbb4d0idcdbxsj74wvq5wm-configurator-pg-0.1.0.3.drv' failed with exit code 1
...

What appears to be happening here is that configurator-pg-0.1.0.3 has a dependency on base (>=4.8.2 && <4.13), however GHC-8.8 contains base-4.13:

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history

The easiest way to fix this would be to get a fix upstream released (or even just a Hackage revision if that is all that is needed).

Otherwise, we could have a temporary fix here in nixpkgs.

I've uploaded a version of configurator-pg that allows base-4.13, thanks for the report.

Note that postgrest itself appears to need some bounds relaxed; the following is output from building with stack and lts-15.2:

In the dependencies for postgrest-6.0.2:
    base-4.13.0.0 from stack configuration does not match >=4.9 && <4.13  (latest matching version is 4.12.0.0)
    configurator-pg must match >=0.1 && <0.2, but the stack configuration has no specified version  (latest
                    matching version is 0.1.0.3)
    hasql-transaction-1.0.0.1 from stack configuration does not match >=0.7.2 && <0.8  (latest matching version
                              is 0.7.2)
    interpolatedstring-perl6 must match >=1 && <1.1, but the stack configuration has no specified version 
                             (latest matching version is 1.0.2)
    lens-4.18.1 from stack configuration does not match >=4.14 && <4.18  (latest matching version is 4.17.1)
    lens-aeson-1.1 from stack configuration does not match >=1.0.1 && <1.1  (latest matching version is 1.0.2)
    network-3.1.1.1 from stack configuration does not match <2.9  (latest matching version is 2.8.0.1)
    optparse-applicative-0.15.1.0 from stack configuration does not match >=0.13 && <0.15  (latest matching
                                  version is 0.14.3.0)
    regex-tdfa-1.3.1.0 from stack configuration does not match >=1.2.2 && <1.3  (latest matching version
                       is 1.2.3.2)
    swagger2-2.5 from stack configuration does not match >=2.4 && <2.5  (latest matching version is 2.4)
    time-1.9.3 from stack configuration does not match >=1.6 && <1.9  (latest matching version is 1.8.0.4)
    warp-3.3.9 from stack configuration does not match >=3.2.12 && <3.3  (latest matching version is 3.2.28)
needed since postgrest is a build target.

https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/pull/1454 has been merged, so postgrest should be good to go.

EDIT: after the updated dependency bounds make it to hackage, I suppose

PostgREST 7.0.0 has made it to hackage, and it builds fine there with GHC 8.8. So this could now be fixed in nixpkgs (or is it fixed automatically?).

robx on 7 Apr 2020

@robx The current state of the haskell-updates branch is that it still has postgrest-6.0.2:

$ cd /some/path/to/nixpkgs/
$ git checkout haskell-updates
$ nix repl ./.
nix-repl> haskellPackages.postgrest
error: Package ‘postgrest-6.0.2’ in pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix:193127 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowBroken = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

If you wait a day or so, it should be automatically updated to see the latest version of postgrest.

However, it appears that postgrest is marked broken. It will not be marked unbroken automatically, so please send a PR doing so:

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/video-tutorial-how-to-fix-broken-haskell-packages-in-nix/3968

cdepillabout on 8 Apr 2020

I think marking it as no longer broken might have happened already in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/85230/. Using current master, I was able to build postgrest. We can probably close this issue.
