Subject: [PATCH] e2e: disable Nix sandbox for cross-distro flake build test

- Update test_nix_build_pkgmgr.py to invoke
    nix --option sandbox false build .#pkgmgr -L
  to avoid sandbox/permission issues in Debian and Ubuntu containers.
- Keeps the test logic identical across all distros while ensuring
  consistent flake build behaviour during E2E runs.
