Package: libwxgtk2.4, wxwin2.4-i18n
Version: 2.4.2.6.1
When I attempt to install these two packages with apt-get, I receive the following error at the end:
$ sudo apt-get install
libwxgtk2.4
Setting up locales (2.3.2.ds1-21) ...

In the case of wxwindows, it turns out I already have it installed so it's not a problem but in the case of libwxgtk, I do not have it installed and this is preventing me from installing it successfully. I believe I've seen this pop in other instances as well when using apt-get (virtually, if not, global).
Has this by any chance been fixed in kernel 2.6.xx because it seems like a critical bug. Is it simply something gone awry with my configuration? It could very well also/only involve the error encountered while processing locales. However, I have recently fixed locales.
I have discovered another bug report falling under this error code but this seemed only to apply to OpenOffice through apt-get; I'm not entirely positive. Link:

Changelog:
I had reported this bug a day or so ago but it was forwarded back to me
and I have recently successfully installed these two packages. I am unsure of the means I used to do this. I believe it was due to me fixing my locales.
However, I am still able to reproduce the error when installing bittorrent:
$ sudo apt-get install bittorrent
