Executing steamctl --user <myaccount> apps list for the first time after installing results in a crash and stacktrace that ends with AttributeError: 'SqliteDict' object has no attribute '_db'.
The problem is that the cache directory (~/.cache/steamctl/) containing app_names.sqlite3 is not created automatically, the workaround is to create this directory manually so the sqlite connection succeeds.
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Install steamctl for the first time and execute steamctl --user myaccount apps list.
Expected behavior
I expect to be prompted for my account details and for the traceback to not occur because ~/.cache/steamctl/app_names.sqlite3 was created successfully.
What actually happend
A crash/stacktrace occurs (see 'Logs' below).
Logs
steamctl --user myaccount -l debug apps list
