I uninstalled localepurge and tried to reset and reinstall the lost locales as per localepurge instructions. The operation was successful, but the problem persists.
I edited /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local (output as var_lib_locales_supported.d_local.txt below) and attempted a dpkg reconfig. This also fails with the following output: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales > dpkg.txt perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory character map file `UTF-8"' not found: No such file or directory cannot open locale definition file `LANG="en_US': No such file or directory character map file `UTF-8"' not found: No such file or directory cannot open locale definition file `LANGUAGE="en_US': No such file or directory ** Attachment added: "/var/lib/locale/supported.d/local" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37527712/var_lib_locales_supported.d_local.txt -- software-center crashed with ImportError in getEffectiveLevel() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
