Copying the papermerge.conf.py from the project directory to /etc/papermerge.conf.py worked for me.
Didn't testet it but I think it has something to do with how the "DEFAULT_CONFIG_PLACES" is implemented in /opt/papermerge/config/settings/base.py.

DEFAULT_CONFIG_PLACES = [ "/etc/papermerge.conf.py", "papermerge.conf.py" ]

@celi28 I think @wedganw's comment should solve your issue as well. Can you please try it?
