Steve, thanks for your quickly response! Here is the default config: # apt-config dump | grep Acquire::Languages Acquire::Languages ""; Acquire::Languages:: "en_US"; Acquire::Languages:: "en"; Acquire::Languages:: "none"; # It seems no translations except English one should be acquired at all. Even if I call #apt-cdrom -oAcquire::Languages="en" add I get the error. Could apt-cdrom ignore the option?

I thought it would be the first time the translation file was updated to be more than 1 MB, but not and there are even more bigger bz2 files (-de, -it, -uk). I haven't yet updated my amd64 DVD image (07.11.2011). There is no dists/wheezy/i18n directory yet. So the last image is the first one including the i18n.
