I used the latest nix-installer.

It seems my PATH contains several times the same folders when I'm a nix shell (whether I'm using nix-shell or nix shell).

Notably, /home/<my_user>/.nix-profile/bin and /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin are present each 3 times in the PATH, and the problem is that they override the folders added by the nix shell itself. That means I'm not accessing what I want from the shell, I'm accessing my user-wide profile bins.
