This has surfaced due to 505d7bea3af48c79af4212111324a4b95f80f212 and the fixup commit 77f5a50c400d7e312e7491593dcc8ee8cab86c2c. The individial platform attributes are a list rather than single elements, so in this case we got: with platforms; [darwin linux freebsd illumos] Which results in: [ ["x86_64-darwin"] ["i686-linux" "x86_64-linux" "armv5tel-linux" "armv6l-linux" "armv7l-linux" "aarch64-linux" "mips64el-linux"] ["i686-freebsd" "x86_64-freebsd"] ["x86_64-solaris"] ] So if you don't have allowBroken set in nixpkgs config, you end up with an evaluation error because meta.platforms is expected to be a list instead of a list of lists which we got here.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
