i am installig ffmpeg using the NIXPACKS_APT_PKGS var on my service, which previously worked OK

i would unfortunately have to recommend writing a Dockerfile instead of dealing with nixpacks

okay thanks

could a recent update in nixpacks have caused this? i think my service just uses the latest version for every build

unfortunately yes, its not possible for us to test every application so more complex builds can break, and thus for more immutable builds a Dockerfile tailired to your specific application is always going to give you a better experience.

okay makes sense

i managed to find a fix and still use nixpacks for building. found it here: https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/issues/977#issuecomment-1801272738

i was installing ffmpeg through the NIXPACKS_APT_PKGS var, but changed that to NIXPACKS_PKGS which has solved the problem

ah, glad you found a solution
