While checking everything to find the reason for the problem I tried to start with a new import.
What I found is that the import does only work when I do "straight import" i.e. preserving all the IDs from the old database. When I try to import without the "straight" option I get an error saying
In Reply To:
CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Unable to execute query `INSERT INTO L2_CatLinks (LinkID, CategoryID) VALUES (?, ?)': Column 'CategoryID' cannot be null at /htdocs/cgi-bin/links2/admin/Links/Import/S1S2.pm line 655
When I do the straight import I get only error messages saying that there was not enough info to add users so that the user "admin" is added instead - which is quite normal, I suppose - and the import is complete and successful.
That way the data were imported before the problem with "modify multiple links" appeared.
So maybe it has to do something with Category IDs not getting correctly imported?
