I get similar errors trying to upgrade from "dapper" to "edgy" on an IBM thinkpad, x32. I tried regenerating locales, doing a dpkg-reconfigure with no luck. repetitive "apt-get install dist-upgrade" gets me further and further but I am afraid things are breaking on the way because a whole bunch of packages are removed (build-essentials ?) , some are re- installed, many are giving errors. I will report back if it ever resolves itself.
