I was never meant to start a flame, so forgive me if I didn't observe the list guidelines.
The issue is solved now, it was a simple firewall (anti-malware setting) issue…
This runs against distro vs distro arguments, version vs version, etc.
Before writing to this list I already Googled, contacted a couple of Ubuntu forums, a couple of independent lists, to no avail. I either had no reply, or have been told to upgrade, to change distro, to compile vs using binaries, to switch to gentoo, etc. etc.
"old stable" isn't always cause of issues, in general, although I might agree with many of your statements and observations.
Thanks for your time, guys! :-) Gabriele
