The problem is in guile and decribed here:
<URL:http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10742>
With the patch/fix:
<URL:http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=commitdiff;h=5de0053178b4acc793ae62838175e5f3ab56c603>
This commit did not make it into wheezy. As a workaround, set LANG
from LANG=de_DE to LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 (persistent and system wide with
dpkg-reconfigure locales). After that things work fine.
Best regards,
Andi
