All DNS lookups fail, basically because there’s no resolv.conf in the
build chroot.  It’s also a design choice: Nix strives to maximize
reproducibility, which implies that build systems are expected to be
self-contained and deterministic.

Note that ‘localhost’ won’t resolve either, so you’d have to use
127.0.0.1.

Thanks,
