The message means that using a certain locale has been requested by
setting the LANGUAGE and LANG environment variables to its name but that
it can't really be used because the compiled locale definitions for the
requested locale aren't available. The two obvious ways to deal with
that would be

    - change the requested locale to one that's actually supported
          (/etc/locale.gen contains the so-far created one) or to C to
          use the POSIX locale

    - generate the locales

The source files used for these reside in /usr/share/i18n and the file
containg the compiled equivalents is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive. An
LXC-container could use a read-only bind mount to get access to the
locale-archive file of the host.
