The past few days I've been getting mail from anacron
about errors like this:
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
/usr/bin/mandb: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
This is the man-db script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# man-db cron daily
set -e
iosched_idle=
# Don't try to change I/O priority in a vserver or OpenVZ.
if ! egrep -q '(envID|VxID):.*[1-9]' /proc/self/status && \
([ ! -d /proc/vz ] || [ -d /proc/bc ]); then
iosched_idle='--iosched idle'
fi
if ! [ -d /var/cache/man ]; then
# Recover from deletion, per FHS.
mkdir -p /var/cache/man
chown man:root /var/cache/man || true
chmod 2755 /var/cache/man
fi
# expunge old catman pages which have not been read in a week
if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ] && [ -d /var/cache/man ]; then
cd /
if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /var/cache/man >/dev/null 2>&1; then
find /var/cache/man -ignore_readdir_race ! -user man -print0 | \
xargs -r0 chown -f man || true
fi
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /dev/null --startas /bin/sh \
--oknodo --chuid man $iosched_idle -- -c \
"find /var/cache/man -type f -name '*.gz' -atime +6 -print0 | \
xargs -r0 rm -f"
fi
# regenerate man database
if [ -x /usr/bin/mandb ]; then
# --pidfile /dev/null so it always starts; mandb isn't really a daemon,
# but we want to start it like one.
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /dev/null \
--startas /usr/bin/mandb --oknodo --chuid man \
$iosched_idle \
-- --no-purge --quiet
fi
exit 0
This is the output of locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
How to go about fixing this ?
Thanks
