I was unclear above-- 'but the game works in all of them' means that the
game works with all of the locales that it supports, not all locales.
As such, you will have to:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales
and generate en_GB. Then select English in the gcompris configuration
screen (click the toolbox after it starts).

Do 'apt-get dist-upgrade' here, just to be sure. And do:
apt-get install xfonts-base
Some people have indicated that xfonts-base isn't getting pulled in, and
it is needed. I have updated the gnome-core package, but it won't hit
the mirror until tonight.

Definitely do 'apt-get dist-upgrade' here. This should fix the errors.
Keep in mind gcompris will not hit the mirrors for about 12 more hours.
You can then do:
apt-get update
apt-get install gcompris gcompris-data gcompris-sound-en
