LookupError: unknown encoding 'euc-jp-linux'
Cause
  • The language pack was imported, but the LANG env variable missing.
  • The problem is not with codecs.lookup("euc-jp-linux")
Resolution
To resolve this issue, please export the UTF-8 instead of the euc, as follows: 
LookupError: unknown encoding 'euc-jp-linux'
[root@dwivep-RHEL server]# export LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8"
[root@dwivep-RHEL server] locale

Notes
Engineering thinks that the Japanese in UTF-8 is supported, but Authentication Manager probably doesn't support the EUC encoding, so you need to export the env UTF-8 instead of the jp.euc.
