[Qgis-user] Plugin Installation Error

[Martin Bittens]

Dear QGIS User,

I just tried to upgrade the qfieldsync plugin and got this message:


An error occurred during execution of following code:

pyplugin_installer.instance().installPlugin('qfieldsync', stable=True)


Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "", line 1, in
   File "C:\OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/./python\pyplugin_installer\installer.py",
line 437, in installPlugin
     loadPlugin(plugin["id"])
   File

     for item in lines:
   File "", line 322, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0:
invalid start byte

As far I found out by now this happens also when I tried to upgrade or
reinstall other plugins.

Does somebody know what is going wrong?

My QGIS-Version: QGIS 3.40.3 and 3.34.15 on Windows 10

Thank you very much

Martin
