MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Just Installed Debian on my K3G

I have Debian on K3, and once mounted I get the message:

bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

and then apt-get install whatever fails with similar messages about the locale. What is this locale business, and how do I resolve it?

I wondered if apt-get could be used directly from the Kindle or SSH, or if I was getting muddled because it is an image file that somebody made of Debian.. So I wondered how I can still install with apt-get even though it is a mounted image?

I tried such things as:
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install dialog locales

but that didn't seem to help.
Also is the repository I'm using, http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable InRelease ok?

It gets so far with packages then reminds me of the locales problem.
