Description
Using Archlinux here. After a long time fetching repositories I get this error:

Research direction
Start with utils/Helpers.sh and the installSimula entry point, then inspect Simula.nix around line 338 where src selects the local repository. Reproduce the installation on an Arch Linux checkout and investigate the shallow Git repository error; done means the reported installation proceeds past derivation evaluation.
