macOS Sequoia breaks existing Lix installations

macOS Sequoia changed the user ID ranges used by the system, such that some of the IDs for existing Nix build users got used by the system instead.

To fix this on your system, downloadrun the latest Lix installer (FIXME,with addthe instructions)repair andsequoia then run:option:

(fixme

curl add-sSf command-L oncehttps://install.lix.systems/lix installer| issh released)
-s -- repair sequoia

You may run this before or after updating to Sequoia;Sequoia (to run it before the upgrade, add --move-existing-users to the end of the command); it just migrates the user IDs used by Lix to a range recommended by Apple.
