Judging from your custom prompt for the new user and other bells & 
whistles, it seems that you have deeply customized the default profile, 
and this is most probably causing the issue, because mc works just fine on 
a default Debian install.

As Dmitry says, there is no way we can help you without knowing all the 
details, but I'd speculate that you're setting the locale wrong somwhere 
down the line instead of using correct Debian mechanisms (as in 
dpkg-reconfigure locales).
