Hello, I had the same problem from when I first upgraded to Hoary. On
a hunch I installed the package locales and it fixed my problems!!!

See the following for the output of dpkg-reconfigure & apt-get:

eric at UbuntuOnPismo:~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Password:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_CA:en_GB:en_US:en",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_CA.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
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed

eric at UbuntuOnPismo:~ $ sudo apt-get install locales
