I'm getting the following error when trying to run the command you provided:

     error: attribute `pkgsi686Linux' in selection path `pkgsi686Linux'
not found

I don't understand why it says that. The attribute *is* there in current master -- it has been there for very long time, and the command itself works for me.

(I must say I'm a little confused with notion of attributes, is there
any good description describing them available?)

In nixpkgs we don't have just packages, but many other things (e.g. functions), as it's written in a full language (called nix). Things in there are denoted by these attribute names. They have to be unique, but e.g. can "be hierarchical". You can find details in the nix manual http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/trunk/tarball/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual
