Environment:

• Apline Linux 3.14.2
• python3-3.9.5-r1
• python-dateutil 2.8.2
• python-magic 0.4.24
• s3cmd 2.1.0

The issue disappears, if python3 is downgraded from 3.9.5-r1 to 3.8.10-r0

Probably the root cause: ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF#583 (comment)

Sorry for opening a duplicated issue. This one should be closed, because the issue was fixed and merged into master in #1137

Unfortunately, the fixed version has not been released yet. (latest release: v2.1.0)
