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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

I suspect that <http://askubuntu.com/q/759795> is related. In that case
LANG is set to "en_IN", which is a perfectly valid name of the
English/India UTF-8 locale.

$ cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED | grep en_IN
en_IN UTF-8

Changing LANG to "en_IN.UTF-8" makes the error messages go away.

So there seems to be an incorrect locale validity test somewhere in the
code.

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?
