This bug persists in python2.7.  The solution given by @bigbrovar

"A fix to this problem is adding

'en_ng': 'en_GB.ISO8859-1',
'en_ng.iso88591': 'en_GB.ISO8859-1', 

to usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py" works with phthon2.7 as well.

Hope this would be fixed permanently to save Nigerians the headache of
failed upgrade, etc.

Title:
  ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG

Status in python2.6 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Hi

  When I try to run Ubuntu Software Center from the application menu, I
  get the timer for a while and then nothing.

  Ubuntu 9.10

  software-center:
    Installed: 1.0.2
    Candidate: 1.0.2
    Version table:
   *** 1.0.2 0
          500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  kennacurl at kennacurl-laptop:~$ 


  Is there a work around for me in the meantime? Can I change my locale?
  - if so how?

  From the command line I get:

  kennacurl at kennacurl-laptop:~$ /usr/bin/software-center
  Traceback (most recent call last):
