I think you probably have 'aff and list' files for a 7 bit character set, and ispell has been compiled to use 8 bit. Look in the word list file for the umlaut representation. If they're ":o" or such like, try replacing them with the appropriate 8 bit character, and then rebuild the hash file from the new 8 bit list. Is this an old igerman.deb file (pre September)? I didn't notice anyone releasing new language ispell dictionaries. I'll try to upload a guide to ftp.debian.org later tonight...
