Bug Confirmed, indeed:

 During upgrade I had gnome-icon-teme post-installation script returining error 
exit status 1.
sed errors in grub
gnome-control-center, eog, evince, gnome-panel, software-center ubuntu-mono 
evolution brasero, rythmbox, kile gdebi, monodevelop, texlive, apturi, and 
soooooo many packages I don't really care writing them all with dependency 
problems. Installation reported errors on exit and that the system may have 
been left in an unusable state.

If this happens to all Spanish utf8 users of ubuntu, wow, they will be
scared!

I immediately opened a terminal and, by regenerating the locale-archive
and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a (the install script said it was going to
try dpkg-reconfigure and I got lots of questions, answered the defaults)
and sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade SOLVED the issue (no more
dependency problems, sucessful reboot 2.6.35-22). Anyway, I think that I
actually shouldn't have needed to run dpkg-reconfigure -a after all
(didn't do in my first computer).


P.S.: Is it possible to change the title of the bug? I mean, now that we see 
that something went wrong with locales during upgrade, the title would be 
better as "locale corrupted during upgrade to Maverick; es_ES.utf8 causing 
buggy behaviour and dependency problems in sed, apt, texlive, ...". Then, 
somebody "googling" for answers to their problems maybe would find it in an 
easier way the LANG_C or the mv locale-archive workarounds.
