locales
Package: locales
Version: 2.2.2-1
This is the second time I see this "phenomenon" while upgrading locales:
---
Preparing to replace locales 2.2.1-3 (using .../locales_2.2.2-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement locales ...
Setting up locales (2.2.2-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/locale.gen ...
Generating locales...
en_US.ISO-8859-1.../var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst: line 41:
6730 Terminated /usr/sbin/locale-gen
dpkg: error processing locales (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 143
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

/usr/sbin/locale-gen is just hanging there ...
