No up-to-date version of pipx available via apt #1669

I am using Ansible to deploy/update/etc my systems. I believe since ansible-community 12.0.0 the pipx module now requires pipx to be version 1.7.0 or above. And apparantly, I had really old versions and started to get Ansible errors.

However, even after updating all the systems - I noticed no newer versions were available via APT. For example:

  • Debian GNU/Linux 12.12 (bookworm): pipx/oldstable,oldstable,now 1.1.0-1 all [installed]
  • Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS: pipx/noble,now 1.4.3-1 all [installed]

I have seen a couple of old issues stating the same problem. However these just end with a work around and not a fix to the problem itself.

Ofcourse, I can ditch APT and install it with PIP. However, if it is possible, I would way rather have it available through the normal package manager.

(and if it's not recommended to install it via APT, have it removed, or have an added note, to the README)

If I am missing something, please let me know.
