Like the hint says, you seem to be missing locale support. Perhaps you removed the relevant packages? I'm not sure about RHL8, but on some Linux distributions the needed files are in glibc-locale. BTW, RHL8 is really old; you ought to think about updating to a more modern OS release. regards, tom lane
