(Dapper) dpkg: error processing mozilla-thunderbird-locale-de

I sometimes write email in german so I've ticked German under 'writing aids' in the Language selector. However after updating everything else, I had to do an apt-get upgrade and this error was thrown up. Strangely the german writing aids seem to be working. Das ist gut, ja?

Here's the error, does anyone understand it?
