SVN cannot set LC_CTYPE locale

Question

I started getting the following error whenever i use SVN in my server:

svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LC_CTYPE is UT         


        

Answer 1

This is caused by not having the proper locales generated on your system.

Uncommented lines that you want to support in /etc/locale.gen

For example:

en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8

and then run sudo locale-gen
