I get this after recent update.

Re: Locale problem

1) Try pl_PL.UTF8
2) Set LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf

Re: Locale problem

It is.
This error appears almost everytime.
New OSS does not work, becuase he cannot compile itself with this warning.

I set rc.conf according to polish arch wiki - same thing.

Another thing is that after major system update only Firefox and Thunderbird cannot connect to Internet. 
I think some new packages during installation were disabled, because of this error.

Re: Locale problem

I meant try with

export LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF8"
export LANG="pl_PL.UTF8"

Re: Locale problem

locale is broken so adding

export LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF8"
export LANG="pl_PL.UTF8"

will not help

Re: Locale problem

Bump, I've been having the same problems with

"/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_GB.utf8)"

/etc/rc.conf contains:
LOCALE="en_GB.utf8"

[ben@ArchInspiron ~]$ 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.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Is this the same problem or should I start a new thread?

Re: Locale problem

have you followed the wiki?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale

the locale-command should do it (after editing the file)

Re: Locale problem

I've solved my issue -  I needed to go to /etc/locale.gen and uncomment my locale, like the wiki said. Then run "sudo locale-gen"

This only started happening after a recent pacman upgrade, so I assumed I had all of the locale settings already set up.

Thanks.

Re: Locale problem

Glad you could solve your problem.

It's tradition here to edit your inital post and add "SOLVED" somewhere in the topic so that people know you're issue is resolved without having to read the whole thread.

Re: Locale problem

Sorry for the confusion, but I'm not OP. I just had a similar problem - hopefully the fix works for him/her too.
