Thank you for your suggestion!
Since the autovacuum process is failing each time because of: "ERROR:
MultiXactId 2683601542 does no longer exist -- apparent wraparound", I
have expected the manual vacuum also to fail because of the same error.
I've tried it anyway. Well ... manual vacuum also fails unfortunately.
I did not run vacuum with --full, because I want to avoid a locked table.
BR,
Karl
