Non-uinque UID 30032 prevents installation on Arch Linux

Open link2xt opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

This happens after uninstalling previous setup of Nix on Arch Linux (also installed with older Determinate installer) and trying to reinstall. Possibly previous versions did not create 30032 and manually created user took the next UID because of that. I have now removed that user.

Error

Error: 
   0: Install failure
   1: Error executing action

      stderr: useradd: UID 30032 is not unique
