+In case you have a personal local environment set, the LC_ALL above will fix

+ creating template1 database in /usr/share/postgresql/data/base/1...
+ FATAL: invalid value for parameter "lc_messages": "en_US"

+ initdb: failed
+ initdb: removing data directory "/usr/share/postgresql/data"

The long version is the rest of this document.
