BTW, my machine is indeed practically a single user machine with a second account for another user who is completely trusted, so the 777 permissions were created in an attempt to get rid of the permissions problem while I did not consider / as a possible source of such an issue. Well, the learning curve...

Looks like I missed a big one last time... If I read the above line correctly, the permissions on / are rw-rw----, which is a Bad Thing. It denies access to any part of the filesystem to all users. (root still works because those restrictions don't apply to the superuser.) Try a `chmod 755 /` and see if that helps.
