Which one? There are many, for different purposes. These ones might be
relevant:
icu-locales 1.8.1-2 (not installed)
locales 2.2.4-7 (installed)
util-linux-locales 2.11n-2 (installed)

Ok, did that.
Before I ran it, /usr/lib/locales was empty, now there's a
/usr/lib/locales/en_US.
Does that mean I should configure all my LC_* variables to be "en_US"?

Mines like this:
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
After I ran that other command, I just tested it and it isn't working.
Could you provide a little more details about where I configure those
LC_* variables? Just in ~/.bashrc? or somewhere special?
