From that clue alone, it sounds like something to do with:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/18196-b10f93dfbde3d7db%40postgresql.org

People have found various workarounds, see that thread and others.
PostgreSQL is using the wrong kind of locale names by default, so
every time a country changes its name and Microsoft rolls out a change
to the locale display name, every PostgreSQL database in that country
breaks.
