uv version 0.4.20
Linux Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

When transitioning (previously using venv, not virtualenv), uv does not find any pyvenv.cfg file directly under the .venv directory and generates an error:

uv init test
error: Broken virtualenv /home/<user>/.venv: pyvenv.cfg is missing

Should the directory be removed or an empty pyvenv.cfg be created at the root of ~/.venv, the command completes as expected.
