There is no /etc/locale. I assume you mean /etc/locale.gen. That one
only contains the locales for glibc. You should not specify env vars
there. You only list raw locales. Mine for example has these contents:
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
/etc/env.d/02locale is of a different format. It's executed as a
script, so you set your locale-specific env vars there. You only need
LANG actually, and possibly LC_COLLATE. The whole contents of mine:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
