dpkg: error processing locales (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Aborted), core dumped
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried other locales and it does seem to be unrelated.
As i have no idea what the error means i could not really debug
it, if you need more informations please tell me how to aquire them.
