    This can happen if you "sudo make install" software that isn't managed
    by Homebrew. If a brew tries to add locale information to one of these
    folders, then the install will fail during the link step.
    You should probably `chown` them:

          provided programs will be used before Homebrew-provided ones. This is an
          issue if you install, for instance, Python.
          Consider editing your .bashrc to put:
