Hi I am facing some issues with flox env activation.
/Users/alpha/.flox/run/aarch64-darwin.default/activate: line 175: /nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9/bin/sed: No such file or directory

There is only single environment.
❯ flox envs
✨ Active environments:
default /Users/alpha
The flox was installed as nix profile and had only one package.

So far had tried.
- Existing/Activating env again
- Removing env with
flox delete -d "/Users/alpha" and adding the .flox/env/manifest.toml` file back and activating again.
- Removing flox via
nix profile remove flox and then installing as fresh but yet still the same issue.
- Removing flox cache
rm -r .flox/cache and flox run rm -r .flox/run and activating env again.
- Installing
gnused as nix profile install nixpkgs#gnused
Any suggestion how to get pass this issue?
We’ll look into this further but in the meantime the following command should provide a workaround to get you back up and running:
nix-store -r /nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9
Please let me know if that doesn’t work. Many thanks for the bug report!
Unfortunately it didn’t work. Here are some warnings that may be helpfull to debug.
❯ nix-store -r /nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9

/nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9
I am not good at Nix so can’t figure out how the hash for the package is created.
I observed that it’s looking for the following directory which never existed.
/nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9/
But if I install via nix profile install nixpkgs#gnused it have a different hash.
/nix/store/gnq3l6ixidmzhb93fx0lk11l9622iwc4-gnused-4.9
So the earlier version probably be the local dependency for the flox.
I found a workaround for me.
I used following command to install the gnused packag.e
nix profile install nixpkgs#gnused
It was installed on
❯ nix profile list

Then I copied all files and directories form /nix/store/gnq3l6ixidmzhb93fx0lk11l9622iwc4-gnused-4.9 to the path it was complaining /nix/store/nddzbf5pifm77kksh25xwiy2g9kqqm9f-gnused-4.9.
And then removed the package via nix profile remove gnused.
Everything seems to work fine for me now.
