Bug Description
Binary package hint: locales
Ubuntu 8.10
locales (2.7.9-5)
While I was trying an update from 8.04 to 8.10 using the update script from the alternate CD (8.10 final), I faced a kernel panic within gnome while the update script was installing/
After some work (uncommenting all despite one locale in /var/lib/
And still, a new install of locales results in the same basic problem, despite that not the whole system crashes, but for instance tty2 or synaptic.
But finally I was able to get the important kernel log:

I have additionally created a traceback for Generating the locales - maybe this is helpful.
The Generation process ends up locked, but in this case, it doesn't affect the whole system in a total crash.
