I live in the Netherlands but I prefer to communicate with my
computer systems in English. I have answered the related questions
during installation accordingly.
Now a number of applications complain about the locale. An example is:
jeroen@zandbak:~$ man ssh-keygen
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
The $LC_* variables appear to not be set.
jeroen@zandbak:~$ echo $LANG
en_NL.UTF-8
jeroen@zandbak:~$ echo $LANGUAGE
en_US:en
Regards, Jeroen.
dpkg-reconfigure locales
jeroen@zandbak:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[sudo] password for jeroen:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_NL.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.

Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
jeroen@zandbak:~$ man ssh_keygen
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
No manual entry for ssh_keygen
jeroen@zandbak:~$ echo $LANG
en_NL.UTF-8
1. There is no option to generate en_NL.UTF-8
2. These is no option to set the language to en_US.UTF-8
