I did that. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" outputs a list with locales
that it updated. The last line it writes gives:
lb_LU.UTF-8... cannot open locale definition file `lb_LU': No such file
or directory
failed
I wonder what files it's looking for and also where it is looking for them.
I have an empty folder in /usr/lib/locale with the name "lb_LU.utf8"
and an empty file called "lb" in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/
I doubt that these things should actually be empty.

Couldn't find /etc/locale.gen on my Ubuntu. I guess this is one of the
points where Ubuntu differs from Debian.
