I installed (the fabulous) BSSG on several machines. On two Linux Mint setups, there's no problem serving and building my site.

All files are synced via Syncthing and seem to be identical on all computers.

But...

On Fedora I constantly get the following error messages when trying to serve the site:

Warning: Could not parse date ('Und das überraschend gut.') in läuft-wieder, skipping archive entry.

Same for several other files, which work just fine on Mint.

Is this caused by some difference between Mint and Fedora?

PS: I just noticed that all affected files contained Umlauts in the title field. After changing them to ä etc, the site builds without errors.

But there's still the question: why does Fedora handle Frontmatter differently?
