Hi,

In your apt log I found this:

"""
Setting up lintian (2.5.0~rc2ubuntu3) ...
Generating en_US.UTF-8 locale for internal Lintian use....
/usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:10: symbol `U00008927' has the same encoding as
/usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1:10: symbol `U00008A07'
dpkg: error processing lintian (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
"""

and I am reassigning this bug to locales, which maintains these files. That being said, I suspect this bug have been fixed by now (though I am not running Ubuntu, so I have not verified it).
