UbuntuやDebianでperl: warning: Setting locale failed.と怒られる問題を解決する

sshでログインしてupgradeなどをすると出てくるしつこいエラーを直す

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "ja_JP.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

いろいろやったことをまとめると自分の場合は原因はlocaleではなくssh_configの問題だったのでメモしておく

~> cat -n /etc/ssh/ssh_config
     1
     2  # This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file.  See
     3  # ssh_config(5) for more information.  This file provides defaults for
     4  # users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
     5  # or on the command line.
     6
     7  # Configuration data is parsed as follows:
     8  #  1. command line options
     9  #  2. user-specific file
    10  #  3. system-wide file
    11  # Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
    12  # Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
    13  # configuration file, and defaults at the end.
    14
    15  # Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options.  For a comprehensive
    16  # list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
    17  # ssh_config(5) man page.

    52      HashKnownHosts yes
    53      GSSAPIAuthentication yes

となっているのでline51の__SendEnv LANG LC_*__をコメントアウトしたら直った。

~> sudo emacs /etc/ssh/ssh_config
~> grep -n --color=auto "LANG" /etc/ssh/ssh_config
53:#    SendEnv LANG LC_*

localeの中身がなかったので一応やった

~> $LANG
~> sudo apt-fast install language-pack-ja-base
~> cat /etc/default/locale
~> cd /etc;sudo wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/networkelements/de1110fd6f9c28aae304f7c9b65223e3/raw/0aa1c36df2d330fbe0ce7a3da77bd46218856bcf/locale
~> cat /etc/default/locale
~> sudo locale-gen ja_JP.UTF-8
~> sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
