I just tried in both Kali 2021.4 and Kali rolling, and it works for me. Did you try to run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" ? What's the output of these commands? Does it fix your problem?

I'm not able to replicate it either but I've found this bug in github that points to an issue with a python library
https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester/issues/967

Kali already includes python3-aiohttp version 3.8.1-4 so this issue is fixed.
You need to update your system

I'm closing this as it seems like an old issue that has already been fixed in Kali
