Jeeze, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open
an issue, we'd love to fix the problem so nobody else has this issue.

install: /etc/nix/nix.conf: No such file or directory probably means /etc/nix wasn't created at

Lines 588 to 589 in eff48e8

	_sudo "to place the default nix daemon configuration (part 1)" \
	install -dv -m 0555 /etc/nix

Was there any weird output at that point? does the directory exist?

Seems there was a left over from a previous version. nix.conv was existing as symlink, but the target was non-existing.
After removing the files in /etc/nix/, it worked.
