runaway terminal

Hi,
This morning I booted up my Dapper Drake, went straight to the terminal and started to type in an ndiswrapper command ( -l). Suddenly the whole prompt started multiplying itself down the page and just kept on going. I finally had to close it to stop it. But when I reopened it it started all over again. So I did a reboot and everything seemed ok except when I typed in the same command I got:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_AU:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_AU.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Any idea what happened here and how to correct it?

Thanx

You're not kidding they're messed up. All kinds of crazy things are happening. Just after running your command the prompt took off multplying itself again. When I tried to shut down the open web page it started throwing out so many copies of itself that if I hadn't rebooted it would have crashed. For the moment all is quiet so I am getting this off quick before it starts up again. Here is the message generated when I ran the command:

:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

ran your command but at a certain point it threw me into ubuntu configuration, a blue and gray screen and now it wants to know:

This package installs common CA (Certificate Authority) certificates in
/usr/share/ca-certificates. You can select certs from these available
certs to be installed into /etc/ssl/certs. This package will make
symlinks and generate a single file of all your selected certs,
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
Select certificates to activate:

brasil.gov.br/brasil.gov.br.crt[*] cacert.org/cacert.org.crt[*] mozilla/ABAecom_=sub.__Am._Bankers_Assn.=_Root_CA.crt[*] mozilla/AOL_Time_Warner_Root_Certification_Authority_1.crt[*] mozilla/AOL_Time_Warner_Root_Certification_Authority_2.crt[*] mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt
and a whole list of others.

How do I proceed with these certificates?

Further to my last message, I configured the certificate authority but I find that I'm being thrown into a whole host of configuring options being asked to make choices and frankly for some of them I have no idea what to choose.
Thanks for your patience,

Ok, it took over an hour to complete and with a few points it asked me to enter configuration specifications that did not appear to have default options but I somehow managed to get through it. The result is posted here although it was so long that I had to cut it in half as otherwise the forum wouldn't accept it. Just as I was writing this reply it went into runaway mode again but it seems to have stopped temporarily, a good thing as otherwise I wouldn't have even been able to write this.
Something tells me that the only out of this is going to have to be a completely new installation of the OS.
