When creating a new mobile broadband connection
with the plasma network manager connection editor,
it tries to find a file containing provider
information somewhere in /usr/share/... .
The build recipe contains a patch to fix the lookup path
such that it finds the file in the corresponding package,
probably added due to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9389 .
The actual lookup path is injected into
the patch file with substituteAll.
With commit a31d98f312 ,
the variable name used in subsituteAll changed from
mobile_broadband_provider_info to mobile-broadband-provider-info
(underscores in package names turned into dashes).
Apparently, substituteAll can't handle dashes in variable names.
Consequently, the variable name was no longer resolved.
plasma-nm failed to create new mobile broadband connections;
the connection creator silently exited and logged the error
> plasma-nm: Error opening providers file "@mobile-broadband-provider-info@/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml"
This commit keeps the dashes in package names, but it
restores the underscores in the variable used by substituteAll,
thereby ensuring the variable gets resolved properly.
* substitute(): --subst-var was silently coercing to "" if the variable does not exist.

* libffi: don't check on darwin
libffi usages in stdenv broken darwin. We need to disable doCheck for that case.
* "rm $out/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache" -> hicolor-icon-theme setup-hook
* python.pkgs.pytest: setupHook to prevent creation of .pytest-cache folder, fixes#40273
When `py.test` was run with a folder as argument, it would not only
search for tests in that folder, but also create a .pytest-cache folder.
Not only is this state we don't want, but it was also causing
collisions.
* parity-ui: fix after merge
* python.pkgs.pytest-flake8: disable test, fix build
* Revert "meson: 0.46.1 -> 0.47.0"
With meson 0.47.0 (or 0.47.1, or git)
things are very wrong re:rpath handling
resulting in at best missing libs but
even corrupt binaries :(.
When we run patchelf it masks the problem
by removing obviously busted paths.
Which is probably why this wasn't noticed immediately.
Unfortunately the binary already
has a long series of paths scribbled
in a space intended for a much smaller string;
in my testing it was something like
lengths were 67 with 300+ written to it.
I think we've reported the relevant issues upstream,
but unfortunately it appears our patches
are what introduces the overwrite/corruption
(by no longer being correct in what they assume)
This doesn't look so bad to fix but it's
not something I can spend more time on
at the moment.
--
Interestingly the overwritten string data
(because it is scribbled past the bounds)
remains in the binary and is why we're suddenly
seeing unexpected references in various builds
-- notably this is is the reason we're
seeing the "extra-utils" breakage
that entirely crippled NixOS on master
(and probably on staging before?).
Fixes#43650.
This reverts commit 305ac4dade.
