How exactly did you run "the […] package"? Did you run the application from a ZIP bundle? Could you please add the output of the locale command to your issue description? Thanks.

Hi David!
Thanks for your script. I navigated to the folder where the zip file was downloaded and ran the command:

sudo python3 -OEs aptsources-cleanup.zip

The locale command produces the following output:

It looks like your system locale data may be corrupted or missing. Could you please run sudo locale-gen and then locale again and show me their output?

In any case I'll provide a patch to keep the application going and revert to English in case of bad locale settings or data. There's no need to fail in such cases.

Fixed in 33d9b5e. You should be able to run the application despite the broken system locale now.
