ubuntu12.04 upgrade issue: xterm Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale true; using ISO 8859-1.

[ping]

guys/folks/experts:
this is my 1st post on ubuntu user group...

I yesterday just upgraded to ubntu12.04 from 10.04, after 2 and half 
years usage as my only work platform.
It seems I don't have to but, since I need to do it sooner or later 
anyway, plus I have need to install some packages that looks only easily 
available in the new LTS, I wanted to give it a trial...

the way I upgrade my system is, ssh into it and simply just 
"do-release-upgrade".

I did see a lot of errors during the long time upgrade procedures, but 
finally it end up not bad.

here is one annoying issues I got , it actually appears for every 
package installations:
