language-pack-en-base in Dapper doesn't contain
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_AU so it seems to be a conflict between
the old language-pack-en-base and the new locales. Upgrading
language-pack-en-base before upgrading locales should help.

update-manager -d should take care about this (if not file a bug).
