This is a problem with newer versions of localectl shipped with Ubuntu, and it's actually distinst that's interacting with localectl.

I'll move this issue to the installer repository as that's closer to distinst.

I've also opened a PR against distinst with a possible fix here: https://github.com/pop-os/distinst/pull/325
