Hi there,
I’m new to NixOS and am loving it so far, but came across this weird issue when trying to configure neovim with home-manager, as specified in appendix a.
I have my system managed in a flake and directly configure all my home-manager stuff in said flake. Despite being a little disorganized, I’ve been able to configure plenty of programs via home-manager in this fashion, including zsh and alacritty. In addition, I was able to install neovim by including it in the home.packages list. However, as soon as I try to add something like this:
programs.neovim.enable = true;
and then rebuild the system flake, I get this:
error: collision between `/nix/store/k5d145kij795v7745sdz6afjf69xpmd6-neovim-0.5.1/bin/nvim' and `/nix/store/x10krvikl12chrrx5211nmp3lxfflq1h-neovim-0.5.1/bin/nvim'
I have checked nixos-env --query and neovim is not in the output. I even tried rebuilding directly with home-manager and I get the same error. For reference, here is my flake.nix file that I use to manage my system:
