Hi Erwan (2024.03.26_14:55:30_-0400)

Thanks for the bug report.

This sounds like an upstream bug in userpath.
Would you mind filing it there? I'm not a zsh user, so I can't advocate
for correct zsh configuration as well as you can.

Bug#1067785: pipx : modifies the wrong zsh init files.

[Erwan David]

Package: pipx
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: normal

When you use zsh,
pipx ensurepath adds

export PATH="$PATH:/home/edavid/.local/bin"

to both .zshrc and .zprofile, this could lead to a the directory being twice in
the path, or not.

With zsh the place to put it is ~/.zshenv
