  • @guntbert his problem is that two packages are trying to provide the same file, he either have to delete libc-bin (which is a very bad idea) or remove locales from the installation, and Jokerdino's answer fit both solutions. Trough, truth be told, I think OP is mixing several repositories. – Braiam Sep 17 '13 at 19:43

When finding errors, it is usually informative to look at the first error, the one that caused the later ones.

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/locales_2.17-92_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/validlocale', which is also in package libc-bin 2.17-0ubuntu5

The problem is as dpkg says: the same file validlocale exists in two packages, so they cannot both be installed. What might fix this is to upgrade the other package first.

aptitude install libc-bin

When that is finished, try installing valgrind again.

It may be better to install it from the Ubuntu Software Center. Search for valgrind

Ubuntu Software Center

This would allow you to install the main programme

and any other additional packages which may be relevant.
