I can't speak for your lua* packages, but as long as you have defined your 
locale correctly in /etc/locale.gen your system should source what it needs

Regarding perl complaining, there was a perl update recently (stable) so 
running perl-cleaner is recommended and may fix at least your texlive-basic 
issue.
