@MatthewCroughan have you found a workaround?

[MatthewCroughan]

@bodokaiser Other than using a Nix release prior to this, no. I wanted to perform a time consuming git bisect, but wouldn't do that unless paid to do so, due to the esoteric nature of the regression effecting ancient Linuxes that I don't have much motivation to touch otherwise.

@MatthewCroughan How did you perform the downgrade? Did you uninstall nix and just installed an older nix, or could you use nix nix-upgrade?

Did you disable SELinux? Are you using the multi-user install? Is there a proxy in your network?

(I also have multiple problems including the cache's SSL due to a proxy - trying to disentangle them)
