As I noted in another message in this thread, the problem seems to be with my /etc/environment: ~# grep -r 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' /etc /root ... /etc/environment:LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Commenting this line out solves the problem. I have no idea how that line (or the file itself - apt-file and dpkg -S don't show anything) got there; I'm pretty sure that some script wrote it, and that I didn't enter it manually. Is this a bug in pam_env, sudo, or something else?
