> Maybe something to do with setting a weird PIPX_HOME ?
Good catch. As root:

$ PIPX_HOME=${prefix:-/opt/}/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=${prefix:-/usr/local}/bin pipx
list
venvs are in /opt/pipx/venvs
apps are exposed on your $PATH at /usr/local/bin
package argostranslate 1.9.6, installed using Python 3.11.2
- argos-translate
- argospm

As user:

I granted read access to /opt/pipx/logs/ for users and it made no
difference. I’ll just have to use root to list pkgs and call it good
enough for me. But certainly it’s a bug for pipx to crash and give a
stack dump. In the very least it should give a specific user-readable
error msg.
