[ Error ] - NixOS - Corepack/Pnpm Version Mismatch/Internal Error

Issue:
When attempting to use Corepack with pnpm@9.0.0-alpha.5 on NixOS, the installation process encounters an error due to a version mismatch. This issue also arises when enabling Corepack, leading to an internal error related to symlink creation in a read-only file system.

Error Messages:

1. During pnpm installation:

   $ corepack use pnpm@*
   
   ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION This project is configured to use v9.0.0-alpha.5+sha256.9b9b9a4f189d3837e7cfcabed63ab7b4afa6844ed98c6e1705bd70d0d9bef60b of pnpm. Your current pnpm is v9.0.0
   

2. While enabling Corepack:

   $ corepack enable
   
   Internal Error: EROFS: read-only file system, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/nix/store/HIDDEN-HASH-CODE-nodejs-20.11.1/bin/pnpm'
   Error: EROFS: read-only file system, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/nix/store/HIDDEN-HASH-CODE-nodejs-20.11.1/bin/pnpm'
   
   

Steps to Reproduce NodeJS Unstable Installation:

nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz -p nodejs

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the following commands to install pnpm:

   corepack use pnpm@*
   

2. Attempt to enable Corepack:

   corepack enable
   

Environment Information:

• Operating System: NixOS
• Corepack Version: 0.23.0
• pnpm Version: 9.0.0-alpha.5
• NodeJS Version: v20.11.1
• Nixpkgs Version: nixos-unstable

Expected Behavior:
The installation of pnpm and enabling Corepack should proceed without version mismatches or errors related to read-only file systems.

Actual Behavior:
Errors are encountered during the installation of pnpm, enabling Corepack

Start by reproducing the reported commands, corepack use pnpm@* and corepack enable, in the specified Node.js 20.11.1 and NixOS environment. Investigate the pnpm version mismatch and the EROFS symlink failure; done means both commands complete without either reported error.
