Just installed Ubuntu, ran apt-get update
and apt-get upgrade
to encounter a “perl: warning: Setting locale failed.” error?
Run
sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 si_LK si_LK.UTF-8 sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
“si_LK” should be the locale that the system reports missing. For me, it’s usually “si_LK”.
Missing “si_LK” happens even when I create a DigitalOcean droplet. May be the OS uses my IP’s location to determine which locale to be used? That’s very annoying. Just use “en_US” as we do everywhere else!
Update 1494036470
Add the following line to /etc/environment
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
