usb-creator-gtk crashes on start: invalid start byte

[Adrián Alcolea Moreno]

usb-creator-gtk crashes on start with the message:

    An unhandled exception occurred:
    'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa5 in position 0: invalid start byte

My ubuntu version is trusty, and I alredy tried:

    sudo apt-get purge usb-creator-gtk
    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get autoremove
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk

Still the same.
