Two things you can try:
1. Put /usr/X11R6/lib right at the end of /etc/ld.so.conf. (Is this
done in the upgrade process? I'm sure it's made things work for me
that didn't previously.)
2. Check for the path hardcoded into the binary; try:
strings /path/to/dtlogin | grep '/usr/X11R6/lib'
Nothing should be printed. This caused a problem with the Debian
packages of fvwm2 and other programs a few months ago.
I don't know how you'll get it to load libc5 by default; I haven't had
this problem.
