It looks like your locale data is broken. you need to know
what current locale is, but anyway. please try printenv |
egrep '(LC_*|LANG)'. if you see only LANG=en_US.UTF-8 on
that, it means your /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is broken
somehow. otherwise you need to specify correct one for the
locale.

if locale-archive is broken unfortunately, you need to run
localedef or reinstall glibc-common.

# localedef -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
