Hi
I noticed this error happening on my last few installs.
Shouldnt there be a default locale when installing?

Please post the output of 'locale' and 'locale -a'.
Edit: Have a look at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132475

My rc.conf locale is empty.
In the installation wizard there is not locale setup other then editing the rc.conf.
If I recall the previous rc.conf had a default US locale.
Am I correct?

Yes, the current default rc.conf is empty http://projects.archlinux.org/initscrip … ee/rc.conf
Try setting some reasonable LOCALE and uncomment the same locale in /etc/locale.gen & regenerate the locale by running 'locale-gen' as root.

I had the same error and a mix of "en_GB*" and "en_US*" in locale.gen and rc.conf. Above made me aware and solved it, thanks.
