Description

Nixpkgs version

  • Stable (25.11)

Describe the bug

The package name contains a + symbol. As documented in nixpkgs it fails to install.

Steps to reproduce

~> nix-shell -p nerd-fonts.m+
error: syntax error, unexpected ')'
       at «string»:1:120:
            1| {...}@args: with import <nixpkgs> args; (pkgs.runCommandCC or pkgs.runCommand) "shell" { buildInputs = [ (nerd-fonts.m+) ]; } ""
             |   

Expected behaviour

The package should install or the documentation should be fixed if the name is simply wrong there.
