[Nix-dev] haskellngPackages.cabal-instal wont install after "haskell-generic-builder: gratuitous ..."

[Kirill Elagin]

I’m not sure what it does exactly, but judging from the description in the
man page it just calculates the hash and checks that it matches the one in
the nix-store’s directory name. So in this case in won’t help as the
problem is in the building process, and not in corruption of files in the
local store.
