Hello I still get

?? sitebar has nothing to do with locales. Is that the only
package giving you errors? Is this a new install? However, as a
general rule of the thumb, I would suggest that you proceed as
follows:
1) take pen and paper (or open a text file, if you prefer)
2) run "dselect" or whatever debian package management tool you
like best
3) mark for removal all packages which give you installation
errors starting with the inessential ones, and write them down
for later
4) try to execute what changes you made in 3), for example, if
using dselect, run "Install", possibly a few times until it does
not progress any further or it finishes without errors
5) if there are still errors, go back to 3)
Now you should have your system in a consistent state. Next,
go through the list of packages you removed, fire up again
your package management tool of choice, review the list to
see which ones you really want installed, forget about the
others. Then try selecting as few as possible at a time of
the ones you want, proceeding very much as you did above, i.e.
1) mark for installation the packages you want to add, making
sure that they do not conflict with something more important
2) try to execute what changes you made in 1) above, for example,
if using dselect, run "Install", possibly a few times until it does
not progress any further or it finishes without errors
3) if there are still errors, mark the offending packages for
removal and send a bug report to the Debian Bug Tracking System.
4) go back to 1) until you installed all the packages you want
or until you are sure the only ones left do not install cleanly.
Again, I do not understand how you could get your system in such an
inconsistem state. You must have done something very wrong.
What happened?
