Thanks to all for the hints so far but unfortunately the setting for "org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes" did not solve my problem. Here is an actual backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp 5) org-current-time() (or org-overriding-default-time (org-current-time)) (let* ((entry ...) (ct ...) (dct ...)
