As of now (2017-07-01) the OTR plugin in Poezio is broken due to pythonPackages.pycrypto being replaced by pythonPackages.pycryptodome: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/21671

Workaround

Provide original pycrypto under a new name pycrypto-original and provide this new pycrypto-original dependency to pythonPackags.potr instead of pycrypto: https://github.com/fadenb/nixpkgs/commit/30eb00638ff021803e9ef1afcb22f35636644599

With this patch you will need to whitelist pycrypto-original as it is marked as insecure. See the manual on "Installing insecure packages" for details.
