[X] My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Issue description
I run Syncthing to keep various files synchronised between machines. For reasons, I don't synchronise the files directly in .config; instead, I make symlinks from .config. For example, ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix is a symlink to ~/sync/dotfiles/home.nix.
Home Manager used to be able to do this—when I was using the unstable, non-flake version—but gives me this error when I now try it:

I can run it as home-manager --impure switch but why should I have to? What has changed?
Are you following the right branch?
Is there an existing issue for this?
