I was running the latest lix release on my mac. Then I upgraded to sequoia and it complained about the build users. I uninstalled lix, rebooted, and tried to reinstall lix but at the start of the installation process, after saying 'Y' to flakes, I get this error.

Here's the full read out:

accismus% curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

`lix-installer` needs to run as `root`, attempting to escalate now via `sudo`...


Welcome to the Lix installer! Just a couple of quick questions.

Flakes are an experimental feature, but widely used in the community.
You can change this later in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`.

Enable flakes? ([Y]es/[n]o): y

QUICK NOTE: we've enabled the experimental nix command for you!
Be aware that commands starting with `nix ` such as `nix build` may change syntax.

Have you tried rebooting and trying again? This sounds suspiciously like PATH is busted in a way that might be fixed by rebooting (being unable to find mount is pretty strange).

Just tried rebooting, it didn't help. But your PATH clue helped. Turns out my /etc/bashrc and friends were messed up and my PATH was just /bin and /sbin. A bunch of my files like /etc/bashrc were symlinked to /etc/static which was a directory that simlinked to something under /nix which no longer existed once I uninstalled nix. Anyhow, I had old bashrc, zshrc, zprofile and other files to fall back to, so I did that and things work again.
