Did you already try to reconfigure the "locales" package like this:
LANG=C LC_ALL=C dpkg-reconfigure locales
This should run dpkg-reconfigure unlocalized, so hopefully it will allow
you to use it regardless of the missing data for en_US.UTF-8. Then it
should be possible to select and regenerate the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
If the above does not work then you can check if /etc/locale.gen
contains a line for en_US.UTF-8 and then you can run
locale-gen
directly to create the localization data. (See also the comments in
/etc/locale.gen.)
