Incorrect locale settings cause installation failure

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The satellite-installer command correctly refuses to run when UTF-8 is not set.
  • Overriding LANG is not the appropriate course of action for Satellite. The system needs to be configured for UTF-8.
  • This error may be seen:
Error : [ERROR 2018-12-11 21:18:55 main]  Could not send report: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
