Installing meld and leafpad results in conflicts

[bobvanderlinden]

I try to install meld while leadpad is already installed:

nix-env -i meld

This resulted in a error suggesting me to set the priority of one leafpad or meld higher (similar to the message shown below). I set the priotity of leafpad to 2, but after rerunning the above command again, it resulted in the next set of packages I needed to prioritize. This is shown below:

installing ‘meld-3.12.3’
building path(s) ‘/nix/store/rk88k0xibbac80h8rig7jr1b45zm8sz2-user-environment’
Wide character in die at /nix/store/jjgyvh88yw37gg5ad5lj1z0qdv31d7jy-buildenv.pl line 79.

error: build of ‘/nix/store/9wcx60dvv8y3kcqxmi7kkx92h98ny8wj-user-environment.drv’ failed

I was worried I was going down the rabbit hole, so I stopped here.

I'm on (as far as I know) an up-to-date stable channel on my profile and system. I'd think prioritization shouldn't be needed on stable, but I might be misunderstanding what is happening?

That gschemas.compiled shouldn't be there.

Ah, I get it now. finalterm-git includes gschemas.compiled, which shouldn't be there. I guess this is a problem with the finalterm-git package?

Also, I set the priority of leafpad back to 0 and tried to reinstall meld and leafpad, resulting in the following conflict:

collision between ‘/nix/store/1l57xj9mi30a5dd9zbzdqsrqr3l7ckar-meld-3.12.3/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache’ and ‘/nix/store/1ilfj4ya0yamrh3xhwnr4rjyrdrx8ndl-leafpad-0.8.18.1/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache’; use ‘nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER PKGNAME’ to change the priority of one of the conflicting packages

I guess icon-theme.cache shouldn't be included as well? Any example on how to fix this? I don't mind doing a PR.

The icon-theme.cache files should be auto-deleted after bf521d7. @lethalman, maybe solve gschemas.compiled in a similar way?

[lucabrunox]

gschemas.compiled is already solved by the glib setup hook, but maybe meld
uses a different way to install those gschemas.

Are these changes already on the stable channel? I'm running stable on my laptop, which could explain why I'm still getting these conflicts.

[lucabrunox]

I have to fix the glib setup hook to use that simple mv instead of relying on the makefile.
