Interesting to watch how #nix happily navigates itself into a pit of shame if it runs out of space under /nix.
(Context: nix on #SailfishOS with /nix mounted from an image file): https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/installing-the-nix-package-manager-on-sailfishos/17503)
▪nix-env -e does not work or help
▪nix-collect-garbage can't run (you had one job!)
▪manual nix store delete /nix/store/*bla* often doesn't do anythin or complains a package is 'still alive'
So: sudo rm -rf in the /nix/store and retry nix-collect-garbage until it works 🤷
