Using an environment variable for allowing a symlinked store is currently broken, and is extremely brittle (See #4022). This is because nix invocations that happen in a different environment than the user's will still return errors complaining about the symlink (ex. through
sudo
or thenix-daemon
).Fixes #2926.
