Herbert, did you use another source for the Debian package?

perhaps the up to date java is an issue? Which one is needed?

Download the archive file and extract it, which will create a folder 
named JabRef which in turn contains bin and lib folders. Put that 
folder wherever you want it. (Since this is the portable version, I 
suspect you might want it on a thumb drive.)

The JabRef contains two folders,
bin
and lib

in bin is JabRef
in lib is a folder runtime

Strange indeed. I do not encounter that error on my system (Linux Mint, 
which is Ubuntu-based and pretty compatible with Debian), with the 
extracted program in exactly the same folder (~/Downloads). I have 
JabRef 3.8.2 installed, and it does not interfere with launching the 
portable version.


You might try shifting the terminal to the ~/Downloads/JabRef folder and 
running "bin/JabRef", but I suspect the same error will occur.


A nonprinting control character embedded in the path might cause the 
file not found error, but it is very hard to see how one might get into 
the path.


You could also try copying the JabRef folder to /tmp and repeat the 
experiment there. If running ./JabRef in /tmp/JabRef/bin works, a stray 
character in the path becomes more plausible.

To run it, open a terminal and run the command "/bin/JabRef" 
(where  is the path to the extracted JabRef folder), or just open 
the terminal in the bin folder and run "./JabRef". I got a lot of error 
messages in the terminal when I tried it (Linux Mint), but it opened and 
appeared to work okay.



Thanks, Paul for your detailed advice. Will do so tomorrow.
