The profile present in PATH is not necessarily the actual profile location. User profiles are generally added as $HOME/.nix-profile in which case the indirect profile link needs to be resolved first. /home/user/.nix-profile -> /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile -> profile-15-link /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-14-link -> /nix/store/hyi4kkjh3bwi2z3wfljrkfymz9904h62-user-environment /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-15-link -> /nix/store/6njpl3qvihz46vj911pwx7hfcvwhifl9-user-environment To upgrade nix here we want /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/user/profile-16-link instead of /home/user/.nix-profile-1-link. The latter is not a gcroot and would be garbage collected, resulting in a broken profile. Fixes #2175 |

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
