I fixed it: I set iocharset=iso8859-1. Thanks. I had it set to UTF8 so as to not have problems when running slocate and going through the unicode files under /usr/share/doc/console-lib-tools, if they give problems I'll just delete them. As far as I can remember it worked well when I installed the previous version of the portuguese dictionary, and the iocharset option was already set to utf8. Could it be that now JFS enforces this option more strictly?
