Bug#626457: Thanks for the tip.
I broke my setting with the libc upgrade this morning. But recreating
the symbolic links indeed fixed the problem.
For those who want a method to rescue: take a netinst iso, or whatever
linux rescue or live disk you prefer. Mount the linux disk / and /usr
file system somewhere (with debian netinst / is /target) and do
mount /dev/sdxx /target
cd /target/lib
ln -s /lib /lib64
mount /dev/sdyy /target/usr
cd /target/usr
ln -s /lib /lib64
and then reboot
You can then do
apt-get -f install
apt-get -f upgrade
to finish the pending upgrade
