Is it a bug for the 'locales' package ? Because I wonder if install a 
package from experimental is a solution. What do you think about ? But I 
tried :

# dpkg -i locales_2.7-0exp8_all.deb
(Reading database ... 56391 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace locales 2.7-0exp8 (using locales_2.7-0exp8_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement locales ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of locales:
locales depends on glibc-2.7-1; however:
 Package glibc-2.7-1 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing locales (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales

Of course, the glibc-2.7.1 is required, it's a virtual package, what to do ?

Yeah, I know, but I tried many solutions for these problems, but none 
has resolved the problems.

Resolved, to resolve the problem, I did, in a MySQL prompt :

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED 
BY '<debian-sys-maint-password>' WITH GRANT OPTION;
