Describe the bug
This is related to #6186
I installed nix in a docker container, in order to play with it. The
--help
argument of nix-* commands fails, and it was quite difficult to understand how to fix it:A suggestion: perhaps add a note saying something like "Showing help requires
man
installed. You can install it using your OS package manager".Steps To Reproduce
nix-env --help
Expected behavior
See the help
nix-env --version
