Problem description

A fresh install with nimlsp required yields the following:

        From https://github.com/pmunch/nimlsp
         * tag               v0.4.4     -> FETCH_HEAD

Note I do install nim via choosenim but there's still problem.

Expected behavior

As above.

Steps to reproduce

1. install mason

I can build it with nimble directly tho:

$ nimble install nimlsp

I've been having similar issues with other packages; specifically with node2-debug-adapter, and because the build module sets set -euxo pipefail (https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim/blob/main/lua/mason-core/installer/managers/build.lua#L32), it results in an automatic exit of issues while running the build task, in my case, an unbound variable, likely on https://github.com/mason-org/mason-registry/blob/main/packages/node-debug2-adapter/package.yaml#L20.

Not sure if this is a similar issue for you.

No idea why it might fail or how to fix it (not a nim dev). The installation only runs nimble build -y --localdeps inside the https://github.com/PMunch/nimlsp git repository. Maybe --localdeps is problematic, although I'd be unsure why. I've added the help wanted label for this issue.

I'd suggest using nimlangserver instead if that's an option.
