PostgreSQL didn't install on Ubuntu 11.04

Question

On a new copy of Ubuntu 11.04 server I am trying to install PostgreSQL server by apt-get install postgresql. But in the end of installation log I saw:

Error: could not create default cluster. Please create it manually with

  pg_createcluster 8.4 main --start

When I ran this command I saw this message:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Error: The locale requested by the environment is invalid.

And no PostgreSQL server started :(

What I need to do to become happy on this?

Luckily for you this is an issue I had to look up my notes on, but you asked it in September 2011.
