the term was hard to discover, as its definition and explanation were in a very long document lacking an overview section. search did not help because it occurs so often. - clarify wording in the definition - add an overview of installable types - add "installable" to glossary - link to definition from occurrences of the term - be more precise about where store derivation outputs are processed - installable Nix expressions must evaluate to a derivation Co-authored-by: Adam Joseph <54836058+amjoseph-nixpkgs@users.noreply.github.com>

* Repair a store path, after determining that it is corrupt:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix store verify /nix/store/yb5q57zxv6hgqql42d5r8b5k5mcq6kay-hello-2.10
|
|
path '/nix/store/yb5q57zxv6hgqql42d5r8b5k5mcq6kay-hello-2.10' was
|
|
modified! expected hash
|
|
'sha256:1hd5vnh6xjk388gdk841vflicy8qv7qzj2hb7xlyh8lpb43j921l', got

# Description
|
|
|
|
This command attempts to "repair" the store paths specified by
|
|
[*installables*](./nix.md#installables) by redownloading them using the available
|
|
substituters. If no substitutes are available, then repair is not
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
> **Warning**
|
|
>
|
|
> During repair, there is a very small time window during which the old
|
|
> path (if it exists) is moved out of the way and replaced with the new
|
|
> path. If repair is interrupted in between, then the system may be left
|
|
> in a broken state (e.g., if the path contains a critical system
|
|
> component like the GNU C Library).
