Broken packages after nixpkgs-staging merge

[markuskowa]

The latest staging merge introduced a new new hook that checks for broken symlinks.

This breaks:

• ambertools
• dice
• python311.orbkit (other reasons; test fails)

Both in Ambertools and Dice the problem exists in the upstream sources and could be considered a bug, yes. In this case I'm in favour of simply setting dontCheckForBrokenSymlinks = true; instead of removing the dangling symlinks.

When trying orbkit, already pytest-doctestplus-1.3.0, a dependency of orbkit fails with numpy API errors?

Ok

Yes, this might be fixed in upstream. I would wait a few days.
