Perhaps you should have read the bug report that I pointed you to
several days ago... :-)

I got the same error when I tried to 'do-release-upgrade' from lucid to
precise.
For me workaround was:
sudo apt-get -f install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false
And after this run 'do-release-upgrade' again.

That command is the same as:
apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f

Glad to see that it's starting the update - I'll hold off on upgrading
the 10.04 that I installed.

Regarding your python warnings:

[python-support not cleaning up during Lucid -> Precise upgrade]
Unfortunately he wasn't able to reproduce it at the time... However, he
did in this bug report:

[Lucid -> Precise upgrade does not clean up files]
The reporter is a dev...
Fixed in 2010 on maverick (10.10) but not for lucid (10.04):

Seems like python has some real issues...

Regarding your 'Failed to parse default value:

Regarding the 'Setting locale failed' - are you still doing all of this
via ssh?
