Public bug reported:

Reconfigure results in:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py", line 1899, in <module>
    ret = checkLatexConfig(lyx_check_config and LATEX, bool_docbook)
  File "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py", line 1420, in checkLatexConfig
    for line in open(file, 'r', encoding='utf8').readlines():
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/codecs.py", line 322, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position 845: invalid start byte
support/Systemcall.cpp (276): Systemcall: 'python3 -tt "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py" --binary-dir="/usr/bin/"' finished with exit code 1

```

Running 'python3 -tt "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py" --binary-
dir="/usr/bin/"' in a terminal does *not* result in the error LyX is
reporting and instead appears to complete successfully.
