# LANG=xx_XX DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure locales
[...]
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings:

when "update-locale LANG" is invoked, it verified LANG variable and, if invalid,
aborts the script.

The typical situation when this happens is:

  - You had belocs-locales-data installed.
  - You had LANG set to a locale that is only available in belocs, and not in
    glibc locales.
  - You attempt to replace belocs-locales-data with glibc locales.

The following fix worked for me:

     if [ -n "$SELECTED" ] && [ "$SELECTED" != "None" ]; then
         /usr/sbin/update-locale "LANG=$SELECTED"

But according to the manpage, I don't see why update-locale should care about
the LANG env variable.  Perhaps the problem is there?
