Bug#271526: Experiencing this problem as well
I'm also experiencing this problem. When I did a recent update to my
Debian testing system, I got:
Setting up locales (2.3.2.ds1-22) ...
Generating locales...
en_us.ISO-8859-1... done
en_us.ISO-8859-1... done
en_us.ISO-8859-1... done
en_us.ISO-8859-1...
and so on.
If I killed the update and tried again, same problem.
When I edited /etc/locales.gen there were over a hundred lines
containing "en_US ISO-8859-1", 2 lines of that, then a blank line.
Then, 1 line, a blank line, 2 lines, a blank line, 4 lines, a blank
line, 8 lines, a blank line.... I deleted all but the first line in /
etc/locales.gen, and the update then succeeded.
