No support for locale: en_US.utf8

by 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
