Hi Aurelien, thank you so much for your quick reply. I have installed locales-all but $LANGUAGE and $LC_ALL are still unset. I noticed that I had locales-all:i386 installed, now it the amd64 package is installed in my system. Also, this computer started with Debian 5. I am removing all config files from time to time, maybe there is an old config file producing the problem. I have looked for this old file but I have found nothing related with locales.
Besides, I have seen that I had "es_ES.utf8" in my local user and "es_ES.UTF-8" for root. Now both have "es_ES.UTF-8".

At least I have the same locales for all users in my system now. Any idea to keep investigating this weird behaviour ??? Thank you so much, Jose
