gnome-terminal do not start

I've just completed a fresh install of Debian Stretch on a server that had previously been running Jessie, with /home preserved.
Now gnome-terminal fails to load. Here's syslog:
18:29:02 alan dbus-daemon[918]: Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' nome-terminal-server.service'
18:29:02 alan systemd[899]: Starting GNOME Terminal Server...

18:31:02 alan dbus-daemon[918]: Failed to activate service 'org.gnome.Terminal': timed out
I assumed that the non-UTF locale was the problem, and tried the following fixes based on googling:
Set /etc/environment to contain
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
LCALL="en_GB.UTF-8"
Set /etc/default/locale to
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
and rebooted. Locale now returns
root@alan:/etc# locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
but gnome-terminal still won't load.
Is this really a locale problem? Where would gnome-terminal be getting its locale from? What else could cause this?

LC_ALL= must maybe be defined as UTF-8 too .. ll you need to do to fix this is regenerate the broken locale files. just do sudo locale-gen and check if the file /etc/default/locale has the following 2 definitions LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US" or GB .... for you ... & this will be ok I think

Can you run (as root or sudo)...
dpkg-reconfigure locales
and see if that fixes the problem?
