Somewhere along the way you have set the default system locale to one
that doesn't exist. What is the value stored here:
cat /etc/default/locale
Is that a valid locale on your system?
frank@frank-debian:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
Is this what should be in /etc/default/locale ??
Not at all.
Here's a US wheezy:
$ cat /etc/default/locale
# File generated by update-locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
$
That's what is now in my /etc/default/locale
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"

So it appears everything is well with the world....well with
Debian Sid anyway.
Thanks for your help as well.
