UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1904: ordinal not in range(128)

New KALI Kali GNU/Linux Rolling \n \l on a Raspi 3B
apt update
install pip3
pip3 install trackerjacker
Trackerjacker will display the help page but no other commands.

This is the second try, the first I did an apt upgrade before installing trackerjacker, same result.
Error message:
