Hi,

I tried to report this on JIRA, but I couldn't access the NIX project to 
create a new item. (All I saw in the dropdown box was GW and PHP.)

There is a small bug in the documentation (Nix manual) Chapter 2.

This is what the manual says currently:

See what installable packages are currently available in the channel:

$ nix-env -qa ’*’ (mind the quotes!)

Please note that the quotes above are NOT the ASCII quote character, 
which is what they should be ("Smart quotes are dumb"):

$ nix-env -qa '*'

HTH,

Howard
