Locale errors Ubuntu
All my VPSes run Ubuntu. Today, when I got online and started working with them, they were all spitting out Perl locale errors. For instance:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
Anyone else run in to this? I know how to fix it, but I'm kind of wondering why all my servers are suddenly giving me these errors.

You are not alone.
apt-get install language-pack-en-base
Much faster way to fix it on Ubuntu.
Meh, rather not install anything if I don't have to. I've already made the commands from the linked article in to a batch file, so it's probably actually quicker that way. Still, any idea why?
It's an issue with how the templates were made. It just happens to be that most of us use these templates.
So it's a problem that has just "come to light"? Never had this problem before today.
It's actually quite common. The OpenVZ wiki has had an article about it for some time: http://openvz.org/Locales_inside_VE
In my experience it's often not seen until you run an "apt-get upgrade" on the Ubuntu templates.
I've been
apt-get upgradeing every day for a while now, no problems. Not saying you're wrong, just kind of weird I've never seen it at all until today, then suddenly it's everywhere.Yeah I know what you mean. Hit or miss. I guess it's never bothered most of us enough to really tackle it.
OK. Thanks @jarland. I've learned my "one new thing" for the day, time for a lunch break.
