I am unsure what is happening with those "bad locales", I am updating my laptop regularly once daily. This came up today:

Any help is appreciated!

I found a file where there are these entries listed:
$ cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en
en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_IN UTF-8
en_IL UTF-8
en_ZM UTF-8
en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_NZ.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_PH.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_NG UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_BW.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AG UTF-8
en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_IE.UTF-8 UTF-8

Adding the UTF-8
keyword where missing and running sudo locale-gen
does not help, it shows this where the keyword is manually added:
> ...Try localedef --help' or
localedef --usage' for more information.

PS: I am on Linux Mint 21.2 (Victoria) Cinnamon and I can edit installed languages here:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
without a luck.
