At the moment an Error is thrown that only holds an error message regarding `nix-env` and `nix profile`. These tools make use of builtins.buildEnv, but buildEnv is also used in other places. These places are unrelated to Nix profiles, so the error shouldn't mention these tools. This generic error is now BuildEnvFileConflictError, which holds more contextual information about the files that were conflicting while building the environment. |
