" Re: Hardy 8.04 update freezes on generating locales
Just had this problem myself. It seems to be to do with the latest Gutsy kernel version.

These steps worked for me:

   1. Reboot your box, and press ESC to enter the GRUB menu
   2. Select the previous version of the kernel xxx.14 rather than xxx.15 (sorry I can't recall the exact version numbers) - don't select the fail-safe mode.
   3. Log-in as your admin user into recovery mode
   4. Manually (re)start the upgrade via a terminal session: dpkg --configure -a

It should complete the install.

Good luck"

Seems to be working now :)

Hopefully this will help some of the people here too :)
