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 think it was something to do with the libid3 library. 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.
