One of the causes is simply that my local setting is 'LANG=C' which is
the default locale and must always be supported by the C library despite
the messages given (it is the default so it must be supported !!!).

Using 'LANG=enGB.utf8  sudo do-release-upgrade' gets further but I still
get  python/gtk warnings that someone needs to sort out.

gtk: gir1.2-gtk-2.0: Installed: 2.24.10-0ubuntu6.2
python: Installed: 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2

The starting point was 10.04 LTS.  This was upgraded to 12.04.5 LTS and
I am now trying to update to 14.04 LTS.
