[Nix-dev] nix-env has different nix-expressions based on the use issuing the command

dear nixers,

can someone please explain what is going wrong here?

root # nix-env -qa '*' | grep chromium
chromium-21.0.1180.89
chromium-21.0.1180.89-with-plugins

normal user # nix-env -qa '*' | grep chromium
chromium-19.0.1061.0-pre124950
chromium-19.0.1061.0-pre124950-with-plugins

it seems that root has a different set of nix expressions compared to 
what my normal user account offers. why ist that?

best wishes,
joachim
