Not Postgres: your platform isn't happy with that setting of
LC_MESSAGES. (This is not the first report we've seen of platforms
that reject a locale code for LC_MESSAGES that they support for other
LC_ settings :-()
You could fix this by editing the setting of lc_messages in
postgresql.conf to be something that your system will accept.
