Got Knoppix 3.2 installed on the HD, but when I run 'apt-get -u upgrade', it downloads the packages and starts to install them. But it ends up with a error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
root@boy:~# dkpkg-reconfigure locales
bash: dkpkg-reconfigure: command not found
root@boy:~# dpkg-reconfigure locales
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed
root@boy:~#

I tried to do dpkg -P locales and got this:

root@boy:~# dpkg -P locales
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of locales:

dpkg: error processing locales (--purge):

Also gave apt-get install locales and apt-get install --reinstall locales:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of localeconf:
localeconf depends on locales; however:
Package locales is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing localeconf (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I even tried dpkg-reconfigure locales, which didn't work either. Any ideas as to why this doesn't work? Is it possible to skip locales all together and continue with the install?

Thanks.
