This is a duplicate of
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CABv1Mx6uBG1OJX3%2BFHewqCoGtGuQqsLniB47WUrrt8sd1PDK1Q%40mail.gmail.com
and is not a PostgreSQL bug. Still, it is a problem.
We think that these are just two different names for the same thing.
But you need the names to be identical for pg_upgrade.
So remove the cluster and run "initdb" by hand, specifying the
old locale names just like they look on the old cluster.
