my system is running smooth except this issue:
if i want to access the infos of a file/ dir and try to switch the user access rights,
finder crashes / closes. so there is no way (except shell maybe) to alter file infos.
any ideas what is causing this? the kernel (voodoo) and system.kext match.

you are right, problem is language related.
what is the easiest way to get the file?
i have some other distros but haven´t been able to extract kexts / pkgs yet.
danke
Solved
i did extract german.pkg from iPC image (i had to use onxy to show hidden files).
after install - no more crashes

As far as I know, the issue might occur if you're using an incomplete german language package. Please switch to english and try whether it works.
If it does, I might have an idea to solve the problem.
