A while ago I started getting errors stating my default locale is not correct in f ex update-grub, mkinitcpio and even inxi

This makes zero sense to me, it is falling back to one of the locales that it is stating does not work??

If I open up the Manjaro settings manager and go into locale settings, I can add en_SE.UTF-8 but It will not set anything in the detailed settings. When I press Apply, all settings to that locale just disappears.
So I opted to remove it completely and just use the “normal” locales until that works and THEN look into that. But maybe it’s connected?
I am so confused. I have been searching through forums for a week, reading arch and manjaro wikis and tutorials. I simply don’t understand why this suddenly broke.
Running mkinitcpio -P makes be a BIT nervous now…
