When you followed these instructions, did the step:
  dpkg-reconfigure locales
work OK?

When I reached that point, I got:

-----

root at homebrew:/# dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

And similar messages appeared with monotonous regularity in the following
steps, to the point where it seems like something is definitely wrong.
