Broken package `localstack` rolled back on nixpkgs but still available on nixhub

Localstack has been rolled back from 3.2.0 to 3.0.0 in latest nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/306848 but both are available on nixhub

  • devbox add localstack@latest will install 3.0.0, which is good because it works, but weird because 3.2.0 is available.
  • devbox add [email protected] will fail to build
  • both nixhub.io and devbox search localstack show 3.0.0 first in the list, and 3.2.0 second, then the rest in regular descending order (I assume just because of the date published)

As the newest version has been rolled back should it also be removed from devbox search and nixhub to stop people trying to use it? Or maybe just mark it as broken in your system?

Not sure if you can do this automatically in your backend by detecting rollbacks in nixpkgs (would be nice to have) or have to do it manually per package (doesn't happen that often, probably okay too).
