Sometimes it can only be solved by installing glibc-langpack-en package.

Recently, my glibc-langpack-en got updated to version 2.40-21; at terminal login I get six times in a row the message -bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory.
After applying the suggested fix, I get the message only three times. Yayy!
I am still trying to understand where those three are coming from and how to get rid of them. Any suggestion?
