nightly rustc is dynamically linked to libz.so.1

[timothee-haudebourg]

I've just updated the nightly toolchain using rustup, and now rustc crashes because it cannot find libz.so.1 on my machine:

$HOME/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/rustc: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is that intended? It causes some problems on NixOS where libz is not available yet. I've tried it on two NixOS machines and ran into the same issue. The stable toolchain works fine.

Yes, intended. Since you're seeing this problem you are most likely using the overlay, so you want to update to include this fix.

Otherwise its a packaging issue in nixpkgs. Closing.
