alright. but i am apparently too stupid. i have
/usr/lib/locale/en_US/* and locale -a lists en_US as well.
furthermore, just `locale` gives

LANG=en
LC_CTYPE="en"
LC_NUMERIC="en"
LC_TIME="en"
LC_COLLATE="en"
LC_MONETARY="en"
LC_MESSAGES="en"
LC_PAPER="en"
LC_NAME="en"
LC_ADDRESS="en"
LC_TELEPHONE="en"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en"
LC_ALL=

(note the LC_ALL, which is unset)

but it's not working. as soon as i set the environment variable LC_ALL
to en_US, it's fine, but that's a "temporary fix." i would like to fix
my systems globally for all users.

thanks.
