I have not replied because I was not able to test with live CD. But I have found the root cause of the problem. It is a frequent bug that occurs while using Turkish locales(my default locale is tr_TR.utf8)
The bug's cause is stated in an unrelated debian bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=232628) I am copying it below. When I run spe as ''' LC_ALL="C" spe ''' it works fine, I will try to test with a feisty version, and report back. The bug about turkish locales; "" There are two special Turkish characters (1) lowercase/dotless i --> 'ı', (2) uppercase/I with dot --> 'İ'. Uppercase of (1) is _dotless i_, that is the usual 'I' of Ascii, while the lowercase of (2) is the usual 'i'. Here is the quick summary: Lowercase Uppercase --------------- ----------------- 'ı' (dotless i) 'I' 'i' 'İ' ('I' with dot) The problem is that there a lot of programs around, which can not handle the required case transforms properly.
