Voyage Linux is an embedded linux distribution. I use it on some ALIX boards I have lying around, it is very stripped down, and as such there are a few annoyances which we have to fix.
The Error
This issue happens when attempting to install/upgrade packages using apt-get or aptitude.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.utf8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
The Fix
We simply need to set the locales to use en_US.UTF-8 or whichever locale is correct for your situation.
# locale-gen --purge en_US.UTF-8 # echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/default/locale # update-locale
Now subsequent runs of apt-get or aptitude will no longer generate the error.
