Apart from the update issue, I would look at all packages that currently use "wrapper" in the attribute name and/or path (see attached list). nix-env -i firefox -- works nix-env -i gcc -- does not work, instead: nix-env -i gcc-wrapper - who is interested in knowing that it is a wrapper? - when is "wrapper" used in the attribute path? - when is "wrapper" used in the attribute name? I don't see this as high priority, but as questions that should be answered for sake of consistency. regards florian
