"just message to screeen only" which does not stop/affect execution of

Did you try from root shell if locale is problem:
~ # unset LANG
~ # unset LANGUAGE
~ # export LANGUAGE LANG
~ # apt-get upgrade
But is this the reason??? As I see...
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
This looks funny, as you posed...
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.2.2-2_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite
`/usr/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.desktop',
which is also in package openoffice-de-en
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.2.2-2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Yep, kdelibs-data has problem here.
