Describe the bug
I have seen this failure to download a file from our cache, and it included a suspicious error message:
warning: error: unable to download 'https://nix-cache.internal.host:5000/nar/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.nar?hash=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': HTTP error 200 (curl error: Failure when receiving data from the peer); retrying from offset 222286391 in 342 ms
error: failed to get libarchive filter by name: No such filter 'identity'
error: some substitutes for the outputs of derivation '/nix/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-my-derivation.drv' failed (usually happens due to networking issues); try '--fallback' to build derivation from source
error: Cannot build '/nix/store/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-nix-shell-env.drv'.
The error: failed to get libarchive filter by name: No such filter 'identity' message looks like it may be due to a bug.
Steps To Reproduce
At the moment, I cannot provide a way to reproduce this problem, as it involves (an attempt at) downloading an output from a local Nix cache server.
Expected behavior
At the very least, removing this error message (if it is benign) would make it more clear why the download failed.
Metadata
Determinate Nixd daemon version: 3.8.2
Determinate Nixd client version: 3.8.2
You are running the latest version of Determinate Nix.
nix (Determinate Nix 3.8.2) 2.30.1
Additional context
I have not found any mentions of the above error message anywhere - especially the upstream Nix issue tracker, so I am wondering if this problem is specific to Determinate Nix.
