OK friends, my English isn't good enough to understand all your arguments, but I understand the spirit. I'll ask them to open another Linux package tomorrow. In this case I'll just have to:

0) pray
1) have a new installation of zen-cart 1.2.5 (this is the version installed on the old host)
2) install the language pack (to support Hebrew)
3) move zen-cart from the old server to the new server
4) upgrade to the latest zen-cart version
5) pray
