Pipx has stopped working: required file not found

Jumpy

Any pipx command such as $ pipx --help or $ pipx install trash-cli will give the following error:

bash: /home/user/.local/bin/pipx: cannot execute: required file not found

I tried to remove and reinstall pipx through software center, but it doesn't help.

Please advice?

Why are you using a local pipx? We have pipx in repository (sudo eopkg it pipx). If you wan to renstall it just add --reinstall flag (sudo eopkg it --reinstall pipx).

alfisya Okay I will try the one from Software Center and just make sure I will try this with a reinstallation of Solus Budgie. Now with a fresh system I still can't launch pipx but the error message has changed to this:

$ which pipx
/usr/bin/pipx
$ pipx --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pipx", line 5, in <module>
    from pipx.main import cli
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pipx/main.py", line 19, in <module>
    import platformdirs
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'platformdirs'

Jumpy Have you tried sudo eopkg it python-platformdirs?

Jumpy This has already been fixed in Unstable. The fix will arrive with the next Sync.

https://github.com/getsolus/packages/commit/431469143f709e960b6e4bb24e7082704dca006f

(alternatively you can already manually install python-platformdirs to make it work)

stocc That's it! Thank you.
