locale-gen and illegal seek

When I try to do "locale -a" for both regular user and root, I get this:

# 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
C
POSIX

And when I try to do "locale-gen" when "en_US.UTF-8     UTF-8" is uncommented from <i>/etc/locale.gen</i>, I get this:

# locale-gen 
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8...default character map file `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not found: Illegal seek

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help or should it be in the noob section. I'm guessing I'm starting to get this trouble after I've updated glibc since locale has been working perfectly fine before. ANSI_X3.4-1968.gz is in <i>/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/</i> and I've also tried "pacman -Sy glibc", but no succes. Any ideas?

Re: locale-gen and illegal seek

sounds like it could be glibc. Have you tried downgrading it? If you haven't already deleted it, it should be in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. Use the -U switch to pacman plus that full path whatever it is.

Re: locale-gen and illegal seek

Sounds like filesystem trouble.
