If you have "en_US.UTF.8" instead of "en_US.UTF-8", it will give that 
error.

You should have "en_US" in there. No one has utf there. But it is not the 
"locale", but the translations:


Elessar:~ # ls /usr/share/locale/en_US/
LC_MESSAGES  entry.desktop
Elessar:~ # ls 
/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/
apparmor-parser.mo  desktop_translations.mo  libstorage.mo  login.mo       
sax.mo   zypp.mo
apparmor-utils.mo   dialogsolver.mo          libxine1.mo    pam-config.mo  
scpm.mo  zypper.mo

and not all of them:

Elessar:~ # ls /usr/share/locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/
Elessar:~ #

Those files are provided by some packages:

Elessar:~ # rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/apparmor-parser.mo
apparmor-parser-2.3.1-11.12.1.x86_64
Elessar:~ # rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libxine1.mo
libxine1-1.1.18.1-1.pm.36.3.x86_64

It must be a deprecated or wrong placement.

The translations are in places like /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/, 
with no country part, just language. Some are on other places, like 
/usr/share/locale-bundle/es/LC_MESSAGES.


The locale defintions are under /usr/lib/locale/, there you will find the 
utf defs:

/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8:

/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_ADDRESS
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_COLLATE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MONETARY
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NAME
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_NUMERIC
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_PAPER
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TELEPHONE
/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TIME

Elessar:~ # rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_ADDRESS
glibc-locale-2.10.1-10.5.1.x86_64

Ah, I found why you didn't find out. I'll post on the other subtrhead.
