You should *definitely* clean up your TeX installation(s), ie:
- purge (!!!) this is important all texlive packages
- purge all unofficial packages you might have installed from
	http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ updpkg/
and *then* reinstall everything.

I believe that this should fix your problem, if not, we have to find
somewhing else.

Best wishes

Norbert
