[Nix-dev] [Nix-commits] SVN commit: nix - r33823 - nixos/trunk/modules/programs/bash

[Nicolas Pierron]

Hi,

Doing so caused troubled to one of my friend when he tried to install
software as root.  "nix-env -i vim" was not working for him on a fresh
install … and sadly I was not aware
of this patch before.

Do we have a check that ensure that we can install software as root on
a fresh install and create a new user and setup the user environment
and install software as a trusted user ?
