I killed the /usr/sbin/locale-gen script that invoked the localedef command and this caused the upgrade to continue but with some "Coud not install package <blabla> dependency problem - leaving unconfigured" messages.
I had to kill this script about 3 more times. The upgrade continued to the end where it detected that something was wrong then tried to revert/recover. This resulted install of some version of the locales package (again it stalled, so I had to kill it) then the update manager quit. I rebooted and everything started without any error messages. I logged in and it says I am running 8.04, package manager/update manager says everything is up to date. Did a reinstall of the locales package (this time it worked) causing some of the packages that failed previously with dependency problem to be installed. So far everything seems to be working.
