I already tried that. I even tried setting the locales same here at my home machine as the one on the remote machine. The problem didn't go away. BTW, if I set my locale to be en_CA UTF-8, dpkg-reconfigure gives weird characters round the border of the concole screen. Had to reset my locale to en_US (or en_CA) to get rid of the problem. >>I should also mention that some packages are yet to be upgraded: >>$> sudo apt-get -s upgrade >>Reading package lists...

Grip and k3b seem to ask for different ones. Then there seemed to be a problem with cupsys-driver-gimpprint as well. Anyway, I have since put a few packages on hold and upgraded the system. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
