It looks like you experienced a transient network error that prevented
you from downloading ‘glibc-utf8-locales’.

This message is confusing: it should report the networking issue above
rather than suggest there’s a bug.

I don’t think it’s necessary.  The main issue from my POV is that the
error message is misleading since it fails to convey the useful piece of
information.

Thanks,
