Bug Description

I tried to install a snap config-example from Snappy store by running the following command:

(amd64)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo snappy install config-example

Then, I am trying to config the example by having the following commands:

(amd64)ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat > cfg.yaml <<'EOF'
> config:
> config-example:
> msg: |
> Yay!
> EOF
(amd64)ubuntu@localhost:~$ vi cfg.yaml
(amd64)ubuntu@localhost:~$ ls
apps cfg.yaml
(amd64)ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo snappy config config-example cfg.yaml

I get Setting locale failed error. What is the problem for it?

Thanks & best regards,

This is indeed an issue especially since it appears that perl is outputing these warning on stdout and not on stderr :/

As a workaround:
  $ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en ssh -p 8022 ubuntu@localhost
can be used.

I also find I need to set the LOCPATH environment variable (this with the locales-all package in stage packages):
