The simple solution is that who ever is testing the pgadmin4  installation
, if they did it on a clean machine  , it would save alot of pain.

When I worked in a software house I followed this practice every time. For
every project I did a clean install. I know it is time consuming. But it is
a best practice needs to be followed.

Because I knew I may have a setting or software installed from previous
project , so the user environment  would be different from development
environment.

Linux still has problems. Fedora 31 has wifi driver but ubuntu doesn't so I
am using USB wifi dongle with my new laptop.
