[Nix-dev] FATAL: caused by sequence: nix-env --install nix ; nix-env --uninstall nix?

[Clemens Tolboom]

Hi there,

probably doing the wrong things i was forced to start all over again.

Doing the quick start thus having the nixpkgs-unstable i just tried to
install nix on a nix-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm installation.

=============
?? means i don't remember
see attachment for full history
-------------
nix at earth:~$ nix-env -i nix
?? Ok
?? exit and enter
nix at earth:~$ nix-env --query
something about converting? berkeley db 
firefox
nix
nix at earth:~$ nix-env --uninstall nix
?? ok ??
nix at earth:~$ nix-env --query
?? unknown command .nix-profile/bin/nix-env ??
nix at earth:~$ exit

enter environment again
nix at earth:~$ nix-env --query
removing old Berkeley DB database environment...
error: DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
==============
I quess i upgraded the nix store bij installing nix

My new session upgraded the database

My removal of nix did ? what ?

Questions:
- Must a nix user be protected for such errs?
- What would be the troubleshooting solution to such a problem?

Regards,

Clemens
