Re: [CentOS] Yum on CentOS 8: Failed to set locale, defaulting to C

I logged out and logged back in and tried the 'yum check-update' command, which normally doesn't require root privileges. And here's what I get:

$ yum check-update Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Last metadata expiration check: 0:17:42 ago on Mon Dec 16 14:04:39 2019.

Any idea on how to make Yum behave here?

I'll answer this myself, since I just found the culprit. I posted my initial message after having waded through various blog posts, each with different suggestions on how to handle the issue.

And I just found out that the answer is as simple as this:

$ sudo yum install glibc-langpack-en
