Unfortunately, I had already tried most of your recomandation: locale -a, gave C POSIX en_US.utf8 ( from the install process). And the second screen of sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, gave the options en_US.utf8 and none. I chose none, assuming that I shall land into C, but the locale remained en_US.utf8. The only advice I got from the net is to do, what, for lack of a better idea, I had already done. The trouble with trying to emulate the old configuration is that about half of the old packages do not exist anymore (according to sudo apt-show-versions -p ... -a: I have all three variants in my sources.list). Aptitude install gave no hints about new packages that replace them. I proceeded nevertheless, in the hope that the stuff covered by the missing packages might be covered in the new versions of the existing ones. I even tried to use the ppd file which works in the old 32-bit install. All to no avail. By the way, apt-cache seems to have been replaced by apt-cacher. I don't know if there are oldstable packages for debian64. It seems improbable. This is the one more thing that I might try. No results googling for "debian64 epson stylus". Cheers, Avraham
