    Hello All,

    It seems that I am facinf some locale related problem
    in Debian woody. whenever I do an apt-get on any
    package or run yahoo messenger or anjuta I get local
    related error messages. I run these programs through
    xterm.
    The message I received is:
    =================================<message>===========
    perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
    perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
       LANGUAGE = (unset),
       LC_ALL = (unset),
       LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
    perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale
    ("C").
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such
    file or direcory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No
    such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such
    file or directory
    =================================</message>===========

    Can someone tell me how can I reset my locale values.
    I am using a UK keyboard layout. Interestingly under
    console the keyboard behaves like a UK keyboard, but
    under Xterms, rxvt, uxterm or any other X-application,
    it behaves like a US keyboard.
    I am using Window Maker.

    Regards.
