Package: texlive-latex-base Version: 2007-12 Thank you Donald!
As I think the issue is solved, I am reporting this as a bug against the Debian texlive-latex-base package. For more information: http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2007-October/009150.html also sprach Donald Arseneau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2007.10.13.1128 +0100]: > I am pretty sure, though, that natbib defines \cite to be robust.

The problem disappears as soon as I uncomment the utf8 stuff, but then the output isn't proper. So I tried *again* to remove the utf8 characters from the bibtex entries, and this time I guess I got them all (and previously must have forgotten one), and suddenly it works. But this can't be, for I *surely* have used UTF8 in bibfiles before, and this is not really the same as http://bugs.debian.org/382075 where the problem was that a ΓΌ character ended up being used as the key for an entry. I then went further and found that it works fine without natbib, but natbib can't handle it, neither with tetex bibtex, nor texlive's bibtex8. plain tex \cite works with both. So this is a natbib bug, it seems.
