An 'auto-call' is when a nix expression is evaluated without any external arguments. If that
nix expression is a function, and that function's arguments all have default values, then all is well.
But if the function arguments don't have default values, then evaluation fails.
But if the function arguments don't have default values, evaluation fails.
The classic case for this error is evaluating a nix file with nix-build that expects to be evaluated by callPackage.
# in 'callPackage' format: expression is a function that takes an argument 'stdenv'.
