Re: Upgradede Pgadmin4 to v6.12 - new startup error

I grepped the sources for 'azurecredentialcache':

user(at)HOST:~/opt/pgadmin4$ grep -R azurecredentialcache .
./lib/python3.8/site-packages/pgadmin4/config.py:AZURE_CREDENTIAL_CACHE_DIR
= os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'azurecredentialcache')

I do re-define DATA_DIR in my configuration file (see below) so it is
unclear why it is trying to create something in "/var/lib/pgadmin":

user(at)HOST:~/opt/pgadmin4$ cat
./lib/python3.8/site-packages/pgadmin4/config_local.py
import os
DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser(u'~/.config/pgadmin-v4/'))
LOG_FILE = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'pgadmin4.log')
SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'pgadmin4.db')
SESSION_DB_PATH = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'sessions')
STORAGE_DIR = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'storage')
PGADMIN_INT_PORT=xxxx
DEFAULT_SERVER_PORT=xxxx
SERVER_MODE = False
MASTER_PASSWORD_REQUIRED = False

I skipped version 6.11 and upgraded from 6.10 so I can't say whether this
broke in 6.11 or 6.12.
