perl locale issue

[Dave Stevens]

I recently installed U10.4 LTS And wanted to run logwatch. Issuing the  
command gave a perl error about not having a locale set. Poking  
further revealed that locale isn't installed. So:

# apt-get install locale
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package locale

and the repolist shows:

# cat sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted  
universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted  
universe multiverse

deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-lucid main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-universal main

so is locale a part of something else or what?
