Unknown metadata version 0.5. Perhaps it was installed with a later version of pipx.

[jahagirdar]

I have upgraded my distro and as a result python3.10 was replaced by python3.12.3
When I run pipx reinstall-all I get

pre-commit: Unknown metadata version 0.5. Perhaps it was installed with a later version of pipx.
git-changelog: Unknown metadata version 0.5. Perhaps it was installed with a later version of pipx.
duty: Unknown metadata version 0.5. Perhaps it was installed with a later version of pipx.
....

I get the same error with list uninstall

Log file for one of the commands is as below

What is the version of pipx?

[jahagirdar]

1.4.3

[dukecat0]

Metadata version 0.5 was introduced in 1.6.0, can you try to upgrade pipx to the latest version and see if you still encounter this error?
