  It means your en_GB locale data is broken.  If you look under the
folder /usr/share/locale/en_GB you should see a file "LC_CTYPE", this
file should hold the information for iso-8859-1, normally.  If this
file is damaged, or holds a wrong version of locale data (i.e. the
locale data for libc5 wont work with libc6 and vice versa, because
they have different magic numbers in their header), it won't work.

  Try "iso-8859-1", or "ISO-8859-1".  These files should reside in
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps.
