So, the program that set LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 is just broken.

Did you use?:

$ dpkg reconfigure-locales

If no, what cmd did you use?
Also what is the content of?:

/etc/default/locale

What is the output of "locale" and "locale -a" on this machine?

This is unrelated. The installed locales are under the
/usr/lib/locale directory, either /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
or various directories if locales-all has been installed.

Install the missing locale(s) with:

  dpkg-reconfigure locales

I have those files except the last htl one.

I should have added that I have been running this macine for years and 
this started recently, a month or two I think.

I'm not sure, but try running locate on your locale e.g.:

$ locate en_US.UTF-8
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XI18N_OBJS
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE
/usr/share/doc/libx11-dev/i18n/compose/en_US.UTF-8.html


If you don't have those (or similar) locale files, you need to enable
and generate that (evidently required, based on your environment)
locale.

Good luck,
