BTW- IIRC this is due the the fact that libc6 and locales have lock-step
dependencies. So when a new glibc package comes out the binary-all
locales package is immediatatly available for all architectures but the
arch-specific packages like libc aren't until they've been built for
each architecture. So as eddantes pointed out, just wait a few days and
they'll be sync'd back up.

Or you could run testing which doesn't have this problem(by definition).
