Could you please exactly tell me what do you mean by "emergency mode"?

This looks like to me like a locale issue. Could you please try to do
the following:
- What is the content of /etc/default/locale?
- Do you have locales-all installed? If yes, can you please keep a
backup copy of /usr/lib/locale for latter debugging purpose and try
to reinstall the package?
- If not, could you please keep a copy of /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
for debugging purpose and try to regenerate the locales by running
locale-gen as root?
