For the reason given above in 2009 im closing this bug asking to
filter a message about a missing locale:
debian installs a locale by defuault and not having one is unusual: if
the file disappeared most people
would want to know about it, so logcheck should be reporting it.

people who want to have a system without a locale set (assuming that
is even still possible - and why not just set it to C?)
can of course add a local rule to filter the message, but i see no
case for hiding this message by default.

Therefore, closing this bug.

If there's some case im missing, it can be reopened of couse

 in addition to the line originally given, i also encountered the same
 message in a slightly different form, this time coming from su:

 Jun 13 00:37:03 ... su[3292]: pam_env(su:session): Unable to open env file: 
 /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory

 the locales version of the system affected is 2.7-18.

touch /etc/default/locale will also make these go away with no behavior
changes.  In my experience, it happens on systems upgraded from older
versions of Debian but not with new installs.  I think this is more a
bug or misconfiguration than something that logcheck really should be
filtering out.
