LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) #963

Description

@jacqu

Hi!

Thanks for this fantastic software!

I would like to report a small glitch in the last 2.0 beta running on macOS. It seems that the terminal incorrectly sets the variable "LC_CTYPE" to "UTF-8". In order to mute these warnings, I had to add the line "unset LC_CTYPE" at the beginning of "/etc/profile" on my Raspberry Pi.

Best,
Jacques
