This has been around since forever. I fix this on every server I
install. Note the uppercase UTF instead of lowecase as the locale output
reports.
sudo locale-gen sv_SE.UTF-8
Generating locales...
sv_SE.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Steps to reproduce:
1. install ubuntu server, any recent version
2. select english for everything except keyboard layout
3. install a package on the commandline and watch perl complain like this:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = "",
LC_TIME = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_CTYPE = "en_US.utf-8",
LC_MONETARY = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_COLLATE = "en_US.utf-8",
LC_ADDRESS = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.utf-8",
LC_NAME = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_US.utf-8",
LC_NUMERIC = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LC_PAPER = "sv_SE.utf-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
My guess is that the installer forgets to create the locale.
