cage: fails to start #468366
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Stable (25.11)
Describe the bug
After upgrading from 25.05 to 25.11 my cage instances, configured with services.cage fail to start.
Example is starting mythtv frontend. It loooks like mythtv is the same version in both 25.05 and 25.11.
Plan to investigate more, time permitting.
Have downgraded back to 25.05 and it is working again.
Steps to reproduce
Have working cage instance on 25.05 and upgrade to 25.11.
Expected behaviour
Cage should start as before.
