So, I solved it this way: I searched for the archived i386 packages on the debian site: pilot-link_0.12.5-dfsg-2+b3_i386.deb and the required dependencies and jpilot_1.8.2-2_i386.deb, jpilot-plugins_1.8.2-2_i386.deb
The program starts.
Photo showing the program launch:
Pilot-link is installed correctly:
pilot-xfer --version
DEPRECATED: The application is calling print_splash()

Although I have installed infrared, and you can see:
$ lsmod | grep irda
irda 139264 1 smsc_ircc2
$ sudo dmesg | grep tty
[sudo] password di Andrea:
[ 0.114854] printk: console [tty0] enabled
[ 5.075807] 00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
I can't sync my PDA with jpilot. I don't know if I'm missing a step...
