[Bug 1023421] Re: Update Manager can't set LC_MESSAGES to default locale

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

@dg1727: I don't think you encountered a bug at all; you just have set
an incorrect locale name. "en_US" isn't generated by default, and if it
is present, it enables latin1 encoding, which you probably not want.
Just update /etc/default/locale by running this command:

sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Title:
  Update Manager can't set  LC_MESSAGES to default locale

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to Update Ubuntu I always see the following lines moving
  up.  These lines appear (when I click on 'Details') frequently while
  updating.  I wish to know whether it is an internal error.  Need I do
  anything?   I doubt my question about sending Emails by Thunderbird
  (Not solved yet; but now removed from my launchpad 'answers') is a
  side effect of this.

  The repeating lines are these:
  ---------------------------------------------------
  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
  --------------------------------------------------
  Should I ignore all these?
