Issue #4695 has been updated by Dmitriy Sergeev.
Also hit this while to trying install postgresql on Debian. The idea of
recreating cluster seemed too scary, so I came up with this Exec for
installation:
exec { "install_${postgresql_package}":
command => "bash -c \'LANG=en_US.UTF-8 aptitude -y install
${postgresql_package}'",
unless => 'dpkg -l ${postgresql_package} | grep ^ii',
}

Bug #4695: Puppet should not reset locale
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4695#change-89332
* Author: Mo Morsi
* Status: Investigating
* Priority: High
* Assignee: Erik Dalén
* Category: exec
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 3.1.0
* Keywords: telly_deprecation locale
* Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1239
----------------------------------------
Puppet resets various locale related ENV variables to the posix default of 'C'
immediately before invoked Kernel.exec to launch an executable (occurs when
running a Single_exec in a recipe)
http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util.rb#L295
The problem is, the python interpreter will attempt to parse these variables to
determine the default locale, and if it is set to 'C' (or not set at all as it
will default to 'C'), 'None' will be returned, ignoring the true default locale.
Thus any python script launched via Single_exec from a puppet recipe will not
be able to get the default locale by invoking locale.getdefaultlocale(). This
functionality is part of the standard python library and is relied upon by many
various Python scripts.
