pg_restore hangs on locale

With a fresh install of Redhat 9 and an apt-get update I am having
pg_restore hang, while it appears to be opening
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive which is probably related to a lock or
something along those lines. Anyone have any ideas? Doing lsof on the
local-archive file resulted in 61 processes and none of them are
hanging, so other processes must be using the file.
