Bug#348413: locales 2.3.6-1 fails to install

[debian.mexon@spamgourmet.com]

I just had this exact same problem, for the exact same reason: while 
packages.debian.org was down, I was forced to grab some debs from 
Ubuntu, which depended on an upgraded libc.  Now I find my locales are 
broken.

So I can fix this by downgrading libc.  My point is that this is clearly 
a bad, confusing problem, since more than once person has found their 
way to this bug report (the vast majority of people inconvenienced by 
this bug won't go to the trouble of reporting it).  It *is* a bug in 
Debian.  Debian should be smart enough to figure out how to resolve this 
problem automatically.
