I updated for the first time in a while (from generation 23 to 24). I got
an error on most common uses of nix-env (-i, -e, -qa). I rolled back to 23
and everything worked, and here is s transcript of the update to generation
25.

Geany would appear to be a text editor of which I haven't previously heard
and I don't use.

Sorry for noobness and thanks for any insight.
