Package: uxterm
Version: xterm
Severity: minor

uxterm mysteriously stopped working one day. It wasn't until I read
the bug report in #318513 that I finally realized the problem.

uxterm requires that the system locale have a UTF-8 locale installed.
The error message I was getting is:

uxterm tried to use locale en_CA.UTF-8
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

which doesn't tell me the root of the problem, and confuses the user
with "No such file or directory". Please consider testing for this
condition and emitting an error message stating that the locale
does not exist.
