Couldn't decipher Homebrew response error

[0n0mat0p03ia]

What were you trying to do?

Clicked on homebrew/core and homebrew/cask taps in UI.

What was the problem?

"Couldn't decipher Homebrew response error" generated, see screenshot for details. Note: this was raised in #138 but it wasn't the focus of that issue. In #138 the suggestion was to delete homebrew and reinstall it to /opt/homebrew, which was performed.

[buresdv]

Try the attached executable
Cork.zip

[WladyX]

Try the attached executable Cork.zip

Works for me, thank you!

[0n0mat0p03ia]

Try the attached executable Cork.zip

Does not work for me, now generates the same error as reported by @WladyX. Also realized I linked to the wrong issue in my first comment. I first reported this as part of #381 not #138.
