Issue description
With nixops being:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixops: symbolic link to /nix/store/nm6iyrkjxyrz2br1cv8fiap9rwpj3cqy-nixops-1.5.1/bin/nixops
using the master branch of nixpkgs, the following failure output appears with deployment target libvirtd.

When using a release branch (17.09) this problem does not exist.

A priori it's fixed on nixops dev.

@teto What do you mean? There is nixops master, but nixops dev doesn't mean anything for me.

@teto probably means the nixopsUnstable derivation.

Only the current master of nixops seems to work as verified by __red__ on IRC.
I can't update nixopsUnstable because the nixops tarball hasn't been built on Hydra for a while: https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixops/master#tabs-evaluations
The reason is an evaluation error: https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixops/master#tabs-evaluations
Somehow I fail to reproduce that error by evaluating release.nix from the nixops repo.
@domenkozar Do you know what's going on there?

nixops now fails because system.nixosVersion was renamed to system.nixos.version. Who is currently maintaining nixops?

I'll look into this :)

cc @rbvermaa actually can you? :)

@rbvermaa fixed this in nixops master but the jobset is still broken. We can't update nixops.
Is there a new nixops release before 18.03 planned?

@fpletz Yes, I would like to release new nixops version this week. I will update nixops in 17.09 and up once it is released.

Deploying 18.03 over 17.09 fails for me: https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/issues/907~~
This seems to have been a local weirdness of some kind. I closed the issue.

@rbvermaa was release already done? can we close this ticket?

This is a major release blocker. We need to have a working nixops version in 18.03 beta so people can test before the final.
@rbvermaa @domenkozar Could one of you please change the config of nixops:master jobset and bump the nixpkgs branch to release-18.03? I've verified that this fixes the problem on another Hydra because I lack the privileges to modify the jobset on hydra.nixos.org.

Nixops 1.6 was released. Merged the PR to fix compatibility with older nixops versions anyway to be able to deploy a 18.03 machine with 17.09.
