After trying everything I could possibly find I am unable to solve my issue
I am following this tutorial on DO https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-php-7-on-ubuntu-14-04 on how to upgrade from php5 to php7
The problem: Immediately on the first step when I execute “add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php”
I am given a warning error add-apt-repository is broken with non-uft-locales see xxxxxx.com
I already tried apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Here’s a summary from a solution from Sakshi’s Oracle blog that works for Ubuntu:
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
then edit /etc/default/locale and add LC_ALL and LANGUAGE with values “en_US.UTF-8”, like this
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
Now try the locale command.
