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":
Almost certainly because config_local.py is read at the end of config.py, so the change you make to DATA_DIR isn't reflected by AZURE_CREDENTIAL_CACHE_DIR.
That will ensure it gets reset after you redefine DATA_DIR.
I think we have some docs/comments about re-defining things if you change DATA_DIR; I'll go check they mention AZURE_CREDENTIAL_CACHE_DIR as well.
I skipped version 6.11 and upgraded from 6.10 so I can't say whether this broke in 6.11 or 6.12.

This was just a regular upgrade (I went through dozens of these).
The new 6.12 version fails to start with the following error message:

My setup has absolutely nothing to do with Azure. I use python wheel having PgAdmin installed in an unprivileged environment, so I am puzzled why it is all of sudden trying to look for something in "/var/lib/pgadmin" or create things there?
