I've set up my locale using the guide in the wiki if I run locale-gen i get this
Generating locales...
en_GB.UTF-8... done
en_GB.ISO-8859-1... done
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.
However whenever I try to install from the AUR i still get the bsdtar: Failed to set default locale error. It's driving me crazy!
Somebody suggested I uncomment Locale C but I cant see that in /etc/locale.gen where would I find this , I'm new to Arch so please be gentle
Thanks in advance
Craig

You have LOCALE="en_UK.UTF-8" in rc.conf but you haven't enabled it in locale.gen.
There's no en_UK.UTF-8 in locale.gen, please pick a proper setting, like e.g. en_GB.utf8.
