Every time I logged onto a freshly installed Rasbian system (Debian Jessie), I had this message:

Asking for the locale settings would give this:
jeroenp@raspberrypi:~ $ locale 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 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Searching for raspbian jessie “-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)” I found fix locale issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian@543e9b4 [WayBack] that fixes Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian · GitHub [WayBack]:
When logging into to a freshly booted debian jessie image:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)Source: Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian
I changed the crux of that solution to this one:
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
When running, it showed this:
# echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_GB.UTF-8... done en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete.
And logging this:
