Hi!

After one year I have decided to turn on my old server where Debian 9 (stretch) in installed.

When I run man command I get the wollowing message:

man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

Any idea how to solve the problem?

You should re-generate locales in your system.

Run the command:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Then by using arrow up, arrow down and space keys select your locales (they will be generated).

Then press enter key to confirm configuration.

Then in the next step in the same way select default locale and press enter key.

Wait until the operation is completed.
