I'm writing a script that downloads various releases using 'debootstrap' and installs some necessary packages on it (including locales), then packages it for use in another script.
I get the following error when running the command inside the chroot:
# locale-gen en_US.UTF-8;update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
Generation complete.
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
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
When I run "export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'" it reports no errors, but it does not fix any issues.
So the question is, how can I fix these locales errors?
PS: I can post part of the script source if it would help.
