No support for locale: en_US.utf8
by dervish on Jun.18, 2012, under Linux, Ubuntu
Error:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic
Warning: No support for locale: en_US.utf8
Issue:
The problem is that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/root_locale is expecting to see individual locale directories in /usr/lib/locale, but locale-gen is configured to generate an archive file by default.
Fix:
# locale-gen --purge --no-archive
