Pacman Failed to set locale

Issues & Assistance
1

Every time I install, remove or update something pacman shows this error:

Failed to set locale.
==> root: 55

the number (55) changes everytime, I have “en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8” & “es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8” uncommented in my “/etc/locale.gen”

sudo locale-gen generates them normally

Generating locales…
en_US.UTF-8… done
es_ES.UTF-8… done
Generation complete.

the error/warning don’t prevent pacman from doing its job it just appear there every time.

so I did this, I commented everything but the lang, and that removed the error, I enabled everything one by one till everything was uncommented again but the error never came back… I don’t know what it was but it’s solved now :+1:
