I would say that probably means your Raspberry Pi OS installation has been customised in some way or is corrupt.

Having done a bit of research, locale-archive appears to be some sort of special file. According to 'man localedef' you can list the locales in said special file and add new locales to it if necessary.

Looks like they might be in 'locale-archive', possibly compressed. If so, you should just be able to decompress them, copy them out of 'locale-archive', and reconfigure your locale settings.

If I had to guess, I would say this is due to missing locale files as both raspi-config and locale are complaining about "No such file or directory". I would check the folder where your locale definitions are stored (on my system /usr/lib/l
