Sometimes I run this locally when ofborg gets broken, or when ofborg is "backed up".

However, I was able to run it locally, but still fail in practice.

NixOS/nixpkgs#104416

now, it should run correctly as:

$ GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=16g nix-env -f ./outpaths.nix -qaP --no-name --out-path --arg checkMeta true --arg allowAliases false --show-trace > out-paths

The CI all seem to be failing to install nix

I merged an update to install-nix-action -- if you rebase and re-push, CI should pass.

(I tried to "restart all jobs" from the GitHub interface, but it still fails because your branch doesn't have #540 I assume.)

There's a few other implications of doing this. Not sure how the CI on nixpkgs is actually getting called but there are a LOT of aliases still being used

Doing allowAliases = false; on the global eval would require significant work within nixpkgs to not fail. The no-aliases CI job must be just running this in some limited scope.
