I only see analogue (sic), but is this not related to the

Encoding: UTF-8

?  Debian is very fond of subdividing packages, and I suspect it is the 
standard glibc UTF-8 locale ("en_US.utf8") that is missing.  There is an 
override for such people, to set R_ENCODING_LOCALES, and looks like they 
have lost their setting.  Kurt had this working once, maybe on a different 
machine.
