Warning on running aptitude upgrade

Tags:

Hi folks,

Debian Etch 8.04 amd64
Base server installation, headless

Immediately after installation completed ran "aptitude update" followed by "aptitude upgrade". Following warnings were found on the latter;
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.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

Please advise which file shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA

B.R.

Re: Warning on running aptitude upgrade

It's common error during upgrade as packages are being reconfigured. Not much to be concerned about. Do:

dave@davescrunch:~$ locale

to see what your current settings are.

if you want to change your settings, install the locales package with apt-get install locales.

if the package is already installed, do:

dave@davescrunch:~$ su dpkg-reconfigure locales
