Set LANG=en_us or en or C and it should work. The above error is telling you 
what it thinks is wrong. RHL8.0 by default sets LANG=en_us.utf_8 or something
like that. This assumes you set it to English to begin with. If you set it to
something other than English then suggest using LANG=C.

Do an echo $LANG at the command line to see what it is set to.

HTH,
