Just to clarify here, it is actually not a NixOS issue. NixOS does
provide /etc/protocols and /etc/services. However in our Hydra
buildfarm we usually build in a chroot environment where these
files are not available. In general that is a good idea as it makes
sure there are no hidden dependencies.
Then the Hydra buildfarm is broken, these files are required for a
working system and not including them is a _serious_ problem in how
you create your build infrastructure.
