Hydra build php81Extensions.simplexml:
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/nixpkgs.php81Extensions.simplexml.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267699505

php82Extensions.simplexml and php83Extensions.simplexml seem fine:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267607665
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267656758

Probably related:
#330299 (fixes for 8.2 and 8.3 with same error)

8.1 is out of active support, so there was no backport for php/php-src#14789 from upstream

PS you did not ping any maintainers for that package, so they would need to notice this issue (which is unlikely)

Also causes an lsp-plugins build failure.
Gonna ping maintainers.

Also causes an lsp-plugins build failure.

this is fixed in master
#330895

[skylarmb]

forgive my ignorance, but what needs to happen for the fix on master to make its way to the unstable channel? I would love to be able to rebuild my system soon

[ghpzin]

#330895 fixed "lsp-plugins build failure" (it does not depend on php 8.1 version now)
If your system update depends on php81Extensions.simplexml in some other way it won't help.
php81Extensions.simplexml does not build on current master as of 6f7b496 (2024-07-30T19:50:23Z)

Well if you only need to rebuild your system again and you don't necessarily care about the updates you're missing out on, you can try using a previous version of your flake.lock file
