[Bug 1639777] Re: locale settings from /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale not picked up

[Aleksandar Pavić]

What you proposed, solved the error.

Hm, then there is another bug, because when I list:

locale-a it litst
en_US.utf8 instead of en_US.UTF-8 for example

full output:

root at server:~# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
