To illustrate the severity of this bug, one cannot even use simple Perl
one-liners:

<pre>
$ perl -pi -e 's/ \t/\t/g' foo.csv > bar.csv 
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en:he:en",
        LC_ALL = "",
        LC_PAPER = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_ADDRESS = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_MONETARY = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_NUMERIC = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_TELEPHONE = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LC_TIME = "en_DK.utf8",
        LC_NAME = "en_IL.UTF-8",
        LANG = "en_IL.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

$ wc -l bar.csv 
0 bar.csv
</pre>

Great, so where is en_IL.UTF-8 set? I have no idea:
<pre>
$ pwd                                                                                                                                      
/home/dotancohen
$ grep -r en_IL *
$
</pre>

Now that I've found Calabacin's linked issue on AskUbuntu.com, I know that it is here, but as we've seen Grep cannot find it:
<pre>
$ cat ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh
export LANG=en_IL.UTF-8

export LC_ADDRESS=en_IL.UTF-8                                                                                                                          
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_IL.UTF-8                                                                                                                        
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IL.UTF-8 
</pre>

Where did those definitions come from?

Title:
  Changing country leads to invalid locale

Status in “kde-runtime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  New installation of Kubuntu 14.04 and upgraded via kubuntu-ppa.
  Initially, country is set to "United States". The locale settings are
  the following:

  ~/.kde/env$ cat setlocale.sh 
  export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LANGUAGE=en:el:en 
  export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 
  export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 

  Then, I change Country to Greece, via System Settings. Locale changes
  as follows:

  export LANG=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LANGUAGE=en:el:en 
  export LC_NUMERIC=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_TIME=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_MONETARY=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_PAPER=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_NAME=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_ADDRESS=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_TELEPHONE=en_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GR.UTF-8 

  As far as I know, en_GR.UTF-8 is not a valid entry. A severe loss of
  functionality is that accents cannot be set properly to greek vowels.
  Changing manually setlocale.sh to:

  export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LANGUAGE=en:el:en 
  export LC_NUMERIC=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_MONETARY=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_PAPER=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_NAME=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_ADDRESS=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR.UTF-8 
  export LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR.UTF-8 

  solves the issue.
