Hi Amos, Thanks for trying to help. 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.
What do you mean by that - have you tried to create a new session (e.g. logout from X, login from another virtual console, or maybe even a reboot is required)? The settings can't affect existing processes as far as I can tell. 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 By the way, apt-cache seems to have been replaced by apt-cacher.
Nope. apt-cache and apt-cacher are two different beasts (one is to investigate the apt cache, the other is a way to share a local apt-cache with other debian boxes). 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".
Try "debian epson stylus"? Cheers, Avraham --Amos
