Hello Giuseppe,

I tried version 1.2.27 today but I'm afraid the problem still remains.

What I did in a fresh, German localized, text-only install of RC1 (AMD64) with 
"sid" updates installed:


Downloaded both 1.2.24+nmu5 (stretch) and 1.2.27 (sid) versions of libpaper1 
and libpaper-utils.

Purged the installed packages:

dpkg --force-all --purge libpaper1 libpaper-utils

Checked /var/cache/debconf/config.dat for remaining configuration of libpaper 
and deleted it if any.
(This happens after a manual override of /etc/papersize with dpkg-reconfigure 
libpaper1)

Installed either version a) 24 or b) 27:

dpkg --install ./libpaper1_XXX_amd64.deb ./libpaper-utils_XXX_amd64.deb

In case a) I got a4 and in case b) letter in both /etc/papersize and 
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat.

I hope this will help you to finally nail down this nasty bug...

Bye,
Thorsten
