Nixpkgs version
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.
