Nix, the purely functional package manager
Go to file
Cole Helbling 2b801d6e3c Check if NIX_LINK_NEW exists instead of checking that NIX_LINK doesn't exist
For brand new installations, neither NIX_LINK_NEW
(`$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` or `~/.local/state/nix/profile`), nor
NIX_LINK (`~/.nix-profile`) will exist.

This restores functionality to nix-env, which is relied upon by GitHub
Actions such as https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action and the Nixpkgs
EditorConfig (and other) CI.
