Public bug reported:
Normally, bash completion using tab in the terminal works as expected. But when
the target is a system (logged in to a remote server or something else), which
has not the locale of the host system loaded, an error message is displayed:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (nl_NL.UTF-8)
When trying to repair the locales on the remote system (logged in server):
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_MESSAGES = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
LC_COLLATE = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
LC_CTYPE = "nl_NL.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.

What is odd, is that the locale of the remote seems to be set to nl_NL,
but this is the locale of the host system. It looks like Ubuntu is
mixing up the locales of the host and remote system.
Doing a locale repair on the host system, everything seems to be good,
no error messages.
