Because of this, you need to pass nixpkgs itself (usually `pkgs` in a module;

If you pass another package set you should set the `pkgsText` option.

This option is used to display the expression for the package set. It is `"pkgs"` by default.

If your expression is complex you should parenthesize it, as the `pkgsText` argument

is usually immediately followed by an attribute lookup (`.`).

The second argument may be either a string or a list of strings.
