As mentioned in /howto/fix-pipenv-asdf-runtimeerror-no-dist-info-has-pip, I was initially confronted with issue some weeks ago but could attribute and fix the problem to asdf misbehaving. The issue, however, resurfaced and that was no longer the case. To my surprise, asdf seemed to be behaving as expected and was therefore of no relevance to the problem I was observing:If you are experiencing this problem and do not use asdf, this post might be of help as I managed to further narrow down its root cause.

However, after updating one of my Ubuntu test systems (20.04.6 LTS) and installing a couple of Python versions via asdf-vm, pipenv suddenly stopped working.
