I got this from loads of things when I had a line like
LOCALE=<something> and that locale was not correct.
Bashrc is probably where it is defined.

That, if true, is serious, as glibc is the heart of your system. But the
locales also come from glibc. In lfs chapter 6 you had a pile of
commands like this one on the glibc page.

localedef -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] -f ISO-8859-15 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

that made the locale files and installed them.

Let us know how you get on. This is a mess, but it is recoverable.
Don't just reinstall this package willy nilly. It's part of the
toolchain.
