Remove duplicate packages from nix-env -qa

[matthewbauer]

For some reason a few packages show up more than once in `nix-env -qa' with the same name and version. Some of them might have valid reasons but often it is just a bad alias in all-packages.nix. I want to look into removing the duplicates.

Result of nix-env -qa | uniq -d | xargs -n1 echo " - [ ]":

Most of these appear to be aliases. Is there a way to tell nix-env not to include them? (NixOS/nix#2113)

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
