The only way this could happen is if your environment <nixpkgs> is older than what you have at ~/nixpkgs/ (which would be likely if you just install nix on ubuntu quickly and happened to clone newer nixpkgs into ~/nixpkgs.

This PR will fix this by using the parent nixpkgs to build the example image by default, rather than reaching into whatever <nixpkgs> might be. I've sent it as a standalone PR so we can get it in ASAP. It's here: #86113

BTW: if you run a certain-sized VM and add yourself to the kvm group, you will be able to use kvm to build the image. It will greatly speed up the process of creating the image.

This should be fixed. Can you confirm @idontgetoutmuch

[idontgetoutmuch]

I can try tomorrow

PR #86113 definitely fixed this issue for me, thanks.
For more context someone else finding this issue, I messed things up by changing the pkgs import to import <nixpkgs> {} in image.nix but my current channel (20.03) didn't have the virtualisation.azureImage attribute yet.
