Perl error

[Bergcube]

As a result of unknown circumstances I get this type of errors:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

It seems to vary from host to host, as some hosts I run never show this error. Others can be ok, but start giving this error after some time's use. Once manifest it doesn't seem to go away.

I suspect this might be a simple matter, but googling it haven't given me much help so far.

quick fix: uncomment

en_GB.UTF-8

in

/etc/locale.gen

and run

locale-gen

I guess that setting Language option in proxmox sets LANG env but does not create locale files

I did. It worked. I thank you!

this bug is still present in current install media (1.5 4627-3)

What bug? (it is not a bug if you login an set an unsupported locale?)

yesterday i did a fresh bare-metal-install using the iso mentioned above. the default locale is de_DE.utf8, while only C, POSIX an en_US.utf8 are generated. sure the solution isn't hard, especially as I prefer the last one, but I would consider this a bug as I expect a fresh install to be coherent.

The installer sets the locale to 'en_US.UTF-8'. So where is it set to 'de_DE.utf8'?

don't know. as I said: did bare-metal-install, saw wrong locale and setup for en_US.UTF-8. does your installer uses time-zone config for locale? because that's the only choice i made that may refer to german language.

ok, i did a test-install in a KVM and the login-locale is POSIX. you're right an this is not a bug, just ssh inheriting LC_* env vars. they are always set to be like the source i came from...
