me.
As for the incorrect locale string, copy&

On one of my machines all the LC_ variables are "POSIX".
I want them to be "en_US.utf8" as on my other machines.
I have the done the following (from the handbook)
1. cat /etc/local.gen (ignoring comments)
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
2. locale-gen
3. source /etc/profile
4. loc
