Nixos 22.05 upgrade fails with jupyter_server and PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/homeless-shelter'

Development

I switched channels to nixos 22.05, however fail to upgrade.

EDIT: The failing package is

python39Packages.jupyterlab

(while the same from unstable works - hence that is my workaround now)

Here a short excerpt from the nixos-rebuild logs

        mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not just the rightmost)
        will be created if it does not exist. If the target directory already
        exists, raise an OSError if exist_ok is False. Otherwise no exception is
        raised.  This is recursive.

any help would be highly appreciated.
I thought everything in nixos channels is tested to properly build, why does this not build out of the box?
