Totally agree.
Normally, it should fallback to a known config, but, as you can see in
the following example, the problem it's not exactly that the LC_ALL is
unrecognized but the LC itself.
A similar problem happens with Sphinx.
Sorry if that's not what you meant.
```
# LC_ALL=kk_KZ.RK1048 help2man
Unknown encoding 'RK1048' at /usr/bin/help2man line 56.
# LC_ALL=bleble help2man
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = "bleble",
LANG = (unset)
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
`help2man' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output.
Usage: help2man [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE
-n, --name=STRING description for the NAME paragraph
-s, --section=SECTION section number for manual page (1, 6, 8)
-m, --manual=TEXT name of manual (User Commands, ...)
-S, --source=TEXT source of program (FSF, Debian, ...)
-L, --locale=STRING select locale (default "C")
-i, --include=FILE include material from `FILE'
-I, --opt-include=FILE include material from `FILE' if it exists
-o, --output=FILE send output to `FILE'
-p, --info-page=TEXT name of Texinfo manual
-N, --no-info suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
-l, --libtool exclude the `lt-' from the program name
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
EXECUTABLE should accept `--help' and `--version' options and produce
output on
stdout although alternatives may be specified using:
-h, --help-option=STRING help option string
-v, --version-option=STRING version option string
--version-string=STRING version string
--no-discard-stderr include stderr when parsing option output
