It looks like you are trying to install the testing version of locales.
Since you have a woody installation, check your /etc/apt/sources.list
to make sure it includes woody or stable sources, and /etc/apt/preferences
to make sure woody is your target release.
You could try "apt-get -t stable install locales" to make sure you are trying
to install the woody version.
