No, I don't. I spent a hell of a lot of time to make the locale

Wolf, I am willing to get to the cause of the problem, but I need the
copy&paste of the command outputs:

sudo rm -r /etc/postgresql /var/lib/postgresql

(Please do backups before if you have something important.
I think we are back to square one and it leads us nowhere.
Sorry that you wont take the lead.
My conclusion: Problem is not related to locales and problem occures
because of crippled package (missing installation files).
Close the incident and thanks for your efforts.

That would be weird, since we only support UTF-8 locales, and everyone
else is using OO.o and Thunderbird with Unicode, too. Anyway, if you

Oh, Wolf, and please fix your locales first. Seems that en_US.UTF-8 is
still invalid. Please do
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Martin, I appreciate your effort to help me but I am afraid you are
missing the point here. Locales have nothing to do with startup scripts.
I analyzed the deb package and especially the installation files. I did

Apparently you set a default locale in /etc/environment or somewhere
else which does not exist. Please create it (with sudo locale-gen
