There is already workaround mentioned in the release not and it works fine, e.g:

# export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
root@ac72f13a87fb:/workspace# ibmcloud version
ibmcloud version 2.11.0+6fd5c4e-2022-09-22T18:49:33+00:00
root@ac72f13a87fb:/workspace#

But it should not panic, instead show some meaningful message and ask user check that particular variable.

This is now fixed in release 2.11.1.
