Every time I debootstrap a new Debian server for a XenU domain, I get lots of verbose output from Perl scripts:

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

The fix is simple:

# apt-get install locales
# dpkg-reconfigure locales

and select your locales.
