Fascinating. locales is not installed.
However, when I did install it, there was no option to select 'C' as the default.

I'm trying to install/configure a notebook from the debian-installer and

I've not selected 'tasksel' in the installation process.

Now, every time that I attempt to run apt-get or many other things I get
hammered with these errors:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_CTYPE = "en_US.UTF-8",
        LANG = (unset)
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

And then I'm left with dozens of broken packages.


I don't think the breakage is from the locale problems. I used to have
stuff like this and installing worked great.


I ran into this about two months ago on another box and have no real
clue what I did to get it working again.  But localedef and locales
doesn't seem to help anything at all.  My /etc/locale.gen only contains
en_US ISO-8859-1

During the installation of (IIRC) xserver-xfree86 I was asked about
locales and at the time I selected only the en_UTF8.  I'm not sure about
this package since installing this generally comes with a groundswell of
other packages as well.



Try dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales and see what it asks you. Locales
configuring sometimes seems to break for strange reasons it seems.

greets,
Wim
