I just run sudo locale-gen --purge on my 14.04 without any issue. You
are the one with a problem, and the error messages in the bug
description indicate that you have a locale set which is not available
on your system, so I ask you again to please let us know the output of
the locale command.

Title:
  locale-gen --purge stops after purging the locales

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with locales 2.13+git20120306-12 and
  upstart 1.12.1-0ubuntu1 and I have found a combination between locale-
  gen and upstart to cause some weird behavior. Initially my locales are
  looking this:

  root@ubuntu:~# locale -a
  C
  C.UTF-8
  de_AT.utf8
  de_BE.utf8
  de_CH.utf8
  de_DE.utf8
  de_LI.utf8
  de_LU.utf8
  en_US.utf8
  POSIX

  
  Here is an example script (stored in /etc/init/test.conf):

  exec locale-gen --purge &

  
  Here is the result:

  root@ubuntu:~# start test && sleep 60 && locale -a
  test stop/waiting
  locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
  locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
  locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
  C
  C.UTF-8
  POSIX

  
  locale-gen has purged the locales but something has caused it to stop then. But if I'm forwarding stdout to /dev/null all is working fine. Here is the updated script:

  exec locale-gen --purge > /dev/null &

  
  And this is now the result:

  root@ubuntu:~# start test && sleep 60 && locale -a
  test stop/waiting
  C
  C.UTF-8
  de_AT.utf8
  de_BE.utf8
  de_CH.utf8
  de_DE.utf8
  de_LI.utf8
  de_LU.utf8
  en_US.utf8
  POSIX
