Stuck with: Couldn't execute zsh -c "echo started"

[patryk4815]

Maybe related with #251
But I don't know how to fix it.

command:
nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake .#a1 --debug [email protected]

Couldn't execute zsh -c "echo started": No such file or directory

Edit:
Works after adding:

export SHELL=/bin/sh

[EmergentMind]

In case someone else encounters this issue and isn't knowledgeable about how to manipulate the SHELL environment variable, or is on a source machine that is configured to inject a specific shell to an ssh target, you can just prepend setting of the environment variable to the beginning of the nix run command as follows:

$ SHELL=/bin/sh nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- --flake <path to configuration>#<configuration name> root@<ip address>

I can confirm this. It also happens to me when using colmena.
So I dont believe its related to nixos-anywhere per se.
I also can not confirm that version discrepancies are the culprint as mentioned in #251
