Python UnicodeDecodeError

When I tried to cook for the first time I got this error:

# Downloading source from git://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/cooker", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 1034, in main CookerCall() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 966, in __init__ self.clargs.func() # call function of selected command File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 993, in cook self.commands.update() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 418, in update self.update_source(source) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 454, in update_source self.update_directory_initial(method, local_dir, remote_dir, branch, rev) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py", line 482, in update_directory_initial fatal_error('Unable to clone {}: {}'.format(remote_dir, complete.stderr.decode('ascii'))) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 98: ordinal not in range(128)
my configuration is:
uname -a Linux dev3 4.19.0-25-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.289-2 (2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I fix it by changing:
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/cooker/cooker.py
482: fatal_error('Unable to clone {}: {}'.format(remote_dir, complete.stderr.decode('ascii')))
to
482: fatal_error('Unable to clone {}: {}'.format(remote_dir, complete.stderr..decode('utf-8', errors='replace')))
