pipx ensurepath under ubuntu is broken

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

pipx ensurepath does not add the correct path under Ubuntu

It does this:

Success! Added /home/runner/work/pipx-ubuntu-bux/pipx-ubuntu-
    bux/"/opt/pipx_bin" to the PATH environment variable.

How to reproduce

Please see the minimal example here: https://github.com/kghose/pipx-ubuntu-bux/blob/main/.github/workflows/bug.yaml

The initial commit includes ubuntu in the OS matrix and it fails: https://github.com/kghose/pipx-ubuntu-bux/actions/runs/486022607

Taking ubuntu out of the OS matrix results in the action succeeding on Windows and macOS: https://github.com/kghose/pipx-ubuntu-bux/runs/1703697490?check_suite_focus=true

Expected behavior

pipx ensurepath should work on ubuntu

pipx is awesome! Thank you for making it!
