I know that Ubuntu 16.10 is not supported right now. I am just reporting this issue hoping it might help.

  • A brief description
    System cannot read locales correctly right after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 from a clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04
  • Expected results
    No locale related errors/warnings when running arbitrary executables
  • Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)
    Take locale command for example, the output is:
$ locale
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
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

    Fast Build 14951.rs_prerelease.161014-1700
  • Steps / All commands required to reproduce the error from a brand new installation
    1. Clean install Ubuntu 16.04 and set the locale to en_US.UTF-8
    2. Set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
    3. Run do-release-upgrade to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.10
    4. See locale warnings described above during and after upgrading

You have to unzip the locale file for some reason, I found.

@fpqc Yes. On a 'real' Ubuntu 16.10 machine, files under /usr/share/i18n/charmaps are not required to be decompressed first to be used.

@MikeChou Someone, either Rolisoft or Therealkenc found exactly which failing syscall causes this.

I have the same error message: my /bin/gzip was corrupted, reinstalling gzip package fixed the issue.

i also have to recreate this file https://www.apt-browse.com/browse/ubuntu/trusty/main/all/locales/2.13+git20120306-12/file/usr/share/locales/install-language-pack for installing other packages(chmod 755), thanks for the gzip clue, in my case have to manually do it, re installing gzip didn't do the trick, regards!

Confirmed, issue is corrected by unzipping the locale and running locale-gen

locale-gen had been broken for a long time. The direct cause was #1005 but since the bug was fixed now it raises another error:

localedef: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c:360: __spawnix: Assertion `ec >= 0' failed.
