I concur with Armindo, this is a bug (in the installer?) which has been
around for many, many years. Apparently the system fails to do a proper
locale-gen at the end of the installation.

When installing Ubuntu, I always choose US English as language, time
zone The Netherlands, keyboard layout US International (dead keys). This
combination of settings *ALWAYS* produces this result:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LC_PAPER = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_ADDRESS = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_MONETARY = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_NUMERIC = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_TELEPHONE = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_IDENTIFICATION = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_MEASUREMENT = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_TIME = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LC_NAME = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Running "sudo locale-gen nl_NL.UTF-8" solves the issue, so IMHO this
"locale-gen step" should be automatically done during the installation
of the system (and if this is done already, it's doing it wrong and
should be fixed).
