Apologies for responding to my own post... but, this is definitely weird
behavior that out of the box pgadmin4 fails to start.

Hi!
pgadmin4 does not start up on debian buster

pgAdmin splash pops up, and eventually says 'Taking longer than usual'.
'Almost there' and then dumps this:
The application server could not be contacted
I've tried cleaning out my pgadmin4 python path:
rm -rf /home/kobaz/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4
I've also tried startingconfig from scratch:

This has not resolved the issue.
strace is showing a loop on:
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 1, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3545, ...}) = 0
Other items of note:
[pid 10122] connect(18, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(46311),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection
refused)
There's no firewall rules or other network type access restrictions on
this box.
For example as my non-root user I can:
nc -l -s 127.0.0.1 -p 46311
And then successfully connect to it with another nc
