from logcheck:
Security Events
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

and from cron:
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
manconv: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
manconv: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
manconv: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

I have screen running in utf8 mode now, and with Emacs/gnus reading my
mail I can use nice glyphs to display threading, and software still
installs or updates despite these warnings so I am not worried too much
about it anymore, its more of an annoyance than anything. 

Thank you for helping!
