Ok, maybe it is realted with the Python installation idk.
My version is 2.7.18

I tried again with the guide above and figured I didn't format the usb drive to fat32.
After ding so the behaviour is different:

Code:
Enter the passphrase for the wallet that will contain all the recovered keys:

Enter the possible passphrases used in your deleted wallets.
Don't forget that more passphrases = more time to test the possibilities.
Write one passphrase per line and end with an empty line.
Possible passphrase:
Possible passphrase:

Starting recovery.

Read 0.0 Go in 0.0 minutes

Found 1 possible wallets
Found 282 possible encrypted keys
Found 0 possible unencrypted keys

Possible wallet #1
    with passphrase #1  Segmentation fault: 11

And additionally phython crashes with the following error message:
