Thanks for your replies, but I believe aptitude is a GUI application and 
I forgot to point out that my machine is a server - no GUI, no KDE, no 
Gnome.  I have tried 'dpkg -i locales' but that didn't do the trick either:
dpkg: error processing locales (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales

Any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
