I can only think of two things, and I'm not certain either will do 
anything for you.

First is to ask how you reconfigured the locales.  If you used 
locale-gen, then I don't have any other knowledge there.

Second is that if you have re-installed all of those things, and still 
are seeing the error, it might be a setting in your user configuration 
files.  I would try either backing up your config files, and removing 
them all, or creating a new user to see if the problem exists on a new 
account.

This is the extent of my knowledge on this subject, so if these don't 
work, I hope that someone who knows more can chime in.
