'bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) in singularity container

Problem

I've had different .sif-files with various versions of ROS (ROS:kinetic and ROS:melodic is the ones I've used most). It worked flawlessly, until it suddenly started giving me this warning:

$ singularity shell ros-kinetic.sif 
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
Singularity> 

I expected that singularity would give me the same state every time I ran the mentioned command? Am I using singularity incorrectly or is it something wrong with the image? Can it be a compatibility issue?

I figured it could be an issue with the images on https://hub.docker.com/r/osrf/ros, but they haven't updated their content in 7 months and the my setup work nicely (maximum) 2 months ago.

How I build the .sif files

$ singularity build --fakeroot ros-kinetic.sif docker://osrf/ros:kinetic-desktop-full

I've also tried using sudo instead of --fakroot option with the same result.
