[Nix-dev] bug? nix-env -qa doesnt find what it should

[Lluís Batlle]

I don't know what the nix developer intended to do, but I think nix
never worked for me as a 'grep' after -qa '*'.
If you looked for "nix-env -qa apache-tomcat", it would have worked. I
think it tries to fully match the non-version part of a derivation
name.

Regards,
Lluís.
