Steps to replicate

1. run docker image (WIN 10 WSL2-enabled docker)

docker run -id nixos/nix

2. Exec into docker image

docker exec -ti <container name> ash

3. copy 4 files about into the container

4. run nix-build ./graphviz.nix

I got a similar issue in this chapter as well. It looks resolvable by guessing the right hash to pin.
