Yeah, sure ;-) They already did that in some places but not everywhere. Hard to tell ~50 users to not use german umlauts on modern systems. And let's be honest: that shouldn't be an issue anymore on 2020 server systems. UTF8 etc ...

Tried some stuff now, to me it looks something might be broken with the debian package(s). >From my days of compiling amanda on gentoo I remember having to include / link to "readline" or so, maybe the debian package(s) are missing something here?
