Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/533

My environment is as follows:

python3 --version says Python 3.8.6
I got archivebox via pip3 install
The version of archivebox is ArchiveBox v0.4.21 (do you need more of its output?)
The whole mess runs on alpine linux, if this is of any interest
anything more needed?

I did the following:

python -m archivebox init
python3 -m archivebox config --set SAVE_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG=False
python3 -m archivebox add --depth 1 --overwrite https://blog.haschek.at/

The first command ran nicely, the second one choked with the following output (I'm showing only the suffix I consider relevant):

This issue is already fixed on master. You can try using that version by cloning and then running pip install . in the project folder.
Please give that a try, and reopen if it still happens on that version.
