Subject: [PATCH] ci/nixpkgs-vet: fix random errors

Every now and then, the nixpkgs-vet CI job currently fails with one of:

  error: creating symlink
'/build/.local/share/nix/root/nix/var/nix/gcroots/profiles' ->
'/build/.local/share/nix/root/nix/var/nix/profiles': File exists

  error: SQLite database
'/build/.local/share/nix/root/nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite' is busy

It's hard to reproduce for me, so just taking a guess with the required
changes.
