Hi. The problem is that since some time nix supports dashes in attribute 
names. Your version evidently didn't support it yet.

The feature isn't used too much yet, so I suggest to comment out the 
offending lines in <nixpkgs>/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix (until you 
switch to upgraded version).
