so i tried the workaround suggested by the guide using this command: sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base and I get this error:

The way I solved this on Ubuntu 14.04 and PHP 7.2 from ppa:ondrej/php was to add this earlier in my setup script:

export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

This was the output of my locale -a command right before I changed the environment variable:

C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

Hope this helps.
