problem solved:
cd /usr/lib/locale
sudo mv locale-archive locale-archive_old
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
and voila, sed is not crazy anymore, nor apt, nor kile.
seems that /usr/lib/locale we have only a locale-archive file.
In Lucid there were folders with each of the locales installed...
somehow the locale generation got corrupted during the update to Maverick.

look what silly things happened, now solved!
When I started a gnome session using Spanish locale sed does this weird
things:
anto...@antonio-desktop:~$ echo $LANG | sed -e 's,[0-8]*,9,g'
9e9s9_9E9S9.9u9t9f9
anto...@antonio-desktop:~$ echo $LANG | sed -e 's,[0-9]*,9,g'
sed: -e expresión #1, carácter 12: Final de rango inválido
it seems that it doesn't like "9" at all. Surprising, at the least.
___________
Now, I log out and log in again in English language.
anto...@antonio-desktop:~$ echo $LANG | sed -e 's,[0-8]*,9,g'
9e9n9_9G9B9.9u9t9f9
anto...@antonio-desktop:~$ echo $LANG | sed -e 's,[0-9]*,9,g'
9e9n9_9G9B9.9u9t9f9
so sed gives the expected result with 8 and 9.

after the locale regeneration, things work OK.
