darwin: package(s) fail trying to move to /share/man/man

[mikesperber]

When Nix tries to compile a package from source, most builds fail ending in this:

moving /nix/store/gqqv3rcsk0sgbxpcw451d4giav31wqc4-MacOS_SDK-10.9/share/man to /share/man
mv: cannot move '/nix/store/gqqv3rcsk0sgbxpcw451d4giav31wqc4-MacOS_SDK-10.9/share/man' to '/share/man/man': Directory not empty

This is on Mac OS X, both with a fresh regular install, and when trying to update to a git pull.

I can create and write-enable /share/man, and things will work for one package, but then fail with the next because /share/man/man will exist already.

Following the instructions on #10663, after I updated Nix itself from Git head (while continuing to delete /share/man), the problem was gone.

Sorry if my post on the other thread was confusing, but I think we should keep this issue open in case others run into it. I'm curious to find out if it's a reproducible problem.

[mikesperber]

It was reproducible, but it's (reproducibly) gone after upgrading Nix itself. So I'd think it's fixed, no?

[henrytill]

Oh, so you don't have to manually delete /share/man anymore?

[mikesperber]

Exactly.

Ah, the "continuing" threw me. Glad to hear it!
