I suggest you place locales and libc6 on "hold" for a few days. My guess
is that they're just out of sync. First locales was updated, but not libc6;
now libc6 has been updated, and locales has been updated _again_, so
they're still out of sync. With any luck, this will all get straightened
out tomorrow...
