Failed to set locale, defaulting to C on centos to almalinux upgrade

Question

Hi,
 

I am seeing the error while running the command
 

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --start
 

* 2023-05-10 19:03:35 [ERROR] yum appears to be unstable. Please address this before upgrading

* 2023-05-10 19:03:35 [ERROR] Failed to set locale, defaulting to C

* 2023-05-10 19:03:35 [WARN] *** Elevation Blocker detected: ***
 

Anyone can advice

Answer 1

You should set LANG and LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE variables before run yum update.

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

export LC_COLLATE=C

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
