I can't set up the locale correctly

I have this:

$ cat /etc/locale.gen
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

$ cat /etc/locale.conf 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

And yet

$ locale -a
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_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX


and 

$ sudo locale-gen

and 

$ locale

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.utf8

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Where is "en_US.utf8" coming from? I have "en_US.UTF-8" everywhere. And why the error in "/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US"?

What I had chanded when I wanted to make Monday to be the 1st day of the week and then changed back was this

week    7;19971130;7
first_weekday	2 # not sure, though, maybe it was 1
first_workday	2 # not sure, though, maybe it was 1

I've tried different combinations when changing it back but it hasn't worked.

I'd reinstall glibc

CL_IDENTIFICATION should be LC_IDENTIFICATION. How did this get modified?

Re: I can't set up the locale correctly

Thanks, it's worked.  The command  "locale", however, returns  "LANG=en_US.utf8", whereas in "locale.conf" it's "LANG=en_US.UTF-8". Is that normal?

Re: I can't set up the locale correctly

It's due to /bin/localedef (the tool behind /bin/locale-gen) normalising the codeset by removing non-alpha-numercial characters and lowercaseing it so that "UTF-8" in this case becomes "utf8".

Here's the code responsible: locale/programs/localedef.c:503

Just for anyone interested.
