This bug bit me too. I think it's just that gconv-modules 2.1.12 needs to
be uploaded. It comes from the same source package as libc6. I'm building
myself a copy from source right now, and I'd be happy to send it to you
when it's done if you'd like.
If course, you'd be safer just building your own
Whoops, I was wrong.
I just read the glibc 2.1.12 changelog and noticed that gconv-modules has
been merged back into locales.
I had removed the locales package from my machine because I kept having
problems downloading it and someone told me I didn't need it.
