Effectively the locales package is broken on i386. Libc6 2.6 is not yet
available but the arch:all locales package is and the previous version
disappeared.

This is however no reason to interrupt the dist-upgrade. You should simply
diagnose this and not upgrade the locales package.

Note that aptitude safe-upgrade / upgrade is not affected.

Cheers,
