Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: console-setup

When doing a intrepid -> karmic upgrade (update-manager -d) it failed on
console-setup

The error was mentioned to be in  "/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.config" 
line 1295
Which appeared to be a: eval `locale`

My locale output contained a 
LC_ALL=
(empty) so this caused the problem.

I did a
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
and added this line to /etc/profile

After that running the update-manager again fixed everything.

Maybe my LC_ALL=
is a very exotic and wrong configuration issue (dunno where it came from), but 
since my install crashed so miserably and left a half installed system, it 
might be worth catching this problem.
