I'm actually upgrading a Gutsy machine now to Hardy & sure enough it hit
again on this machine that I'm upgrading. It's a stupid bug that should
have been fixed in 8.04.1.

What I'll do is open a terminal window, kill locale and then let it go
on and finish leaving the multiple packages unconfigured. Then I use the
'dpkg --configure -a' & let it run through that, and then and 'sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade' followed by 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'. I should
be finished in about an hour or so and will let you know how it went.
