Title:
  package locales 2.23-0ubuntu9 failed to install/upgrade: package
  locales is not ready for configuration  cannot configure (current
  status 'half-installed')

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This error report came up. I've been sing Ubuntu 16.04 since March
  2017, so I'm still very new at it. I believe I had the above problems
  related to installing librc6 packages, and upgraded using terminal. It
  seems that my Ubuntu continues to have problems upgrading
  automatically, and also upgrading using gui. This is possibly a
  security vulnerability, from what I understand.
