Rainer,

Thank very much for the info.

In this case is was a timing issue of when lxc-devuan configures the
locale. It needed to be configured before the /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
commands. It was happening after that.

I've since fixed by moving into a separate function and calling earlier:

configure_locale ()
{
     if [ -z "$LANG" ]; then
         cat >> $rootfs/etc/locale.gen << EOF
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
EOF
         chroot $rootfs locale-gen
         chroot $rootfs update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
     else
         encoding=$(echo $LANG | cut -d. -f2)
         chroot $rootfs sed -e "s/^# \(${LANG} ${encoding}\)/\1/" \
             -i /etc/locale.gen 2> /dev/null
         if ! grep -q ^${LANG}\ ${encoding} /etc/locale.gen ; then
            cat >> $rootfs/etc/locale.gen << EOF
$LANG $encoding
EOF
         fi
         chroot $rootfs locale-gen
         chroot $rootfs update-locale LANG=$LANG
     fi
}
