Hello Malte,

Then this most likely means that you have an /etc/default/locale which
sets a nonexisting locale. postgresql-common ought to check that,
though. Please give the complete output of "apt-get install
postgresql-9.4", "locale", and "cat /etc/default/locales".

This is not going to happen. locales-all is mostly just a test package
for build dependencies, for installed systems it's just a waste.

Thanks,

Martin
