Generating index fails (`texlive.pkgs` not found)

[sukhmel]

As I run creating index, it fails because texlive.pkgs is not found:

▷ nix run github:nix-community/nix-index#nix-index
+ querying available packages
error: querying available packages failed
caused by: nix-env failed with error: nix-env failed with exit status: 1:
error: attribute 'pkgs' in selection path 'texlive.pkgs' not found
       Did you mean one of pgf or psgo?

System:

▷ uname -a
Darwin mbp-m1-vladislav.local 23.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.6.0: Mon Jul 29 21:14:30 PDT 2024; root:xnu-10063.141.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000 arm64

▷ nix --version

I also hit this:

Seems related to 8fde272 , it works on the previous commit:

❯ nix run "github:nix-community/nix-index?rev=987b3cc16118f598a667de6c59f6143362b9505b#nix-index"
+ querying available packages
+ generating index: 90872 paths found :: 29027 paths not in binary cache :: 00000 paths in queue
+ wrote index of 52,321,322 bytes

Same error from running nix-env directly:

❯ nix-env -qa -A nixpkgs.texlive.pkgs
error: attribute 'pkgs' in selection path 'nixpkgs.texlive.pkgs' not found
       Did you mean one of pgf or psgo

But after updating channels (nix-channel --update) it works:

❯ nix-env -qa -A nixpkgs.texlive.pkgs | head
a0poster-1.22b
a2ping-2.84p
a4wide-20943
a5comb-4
aaai-named-52470
aalok-0.6
aastex-6.3.1
abbr-15878
abc-2.0b
abnt-55471

Doing a bit of bisecting:

• Fails on 23.05
• Works on 23.11
• Works on 24.05
