Solved !!!
/var was full. I thought I had told aptitude to remove obsolete
packages from the cache, but the option was somehow unselected.
'aptitude auto-clean' freed about 1.6 GB. I seem to remember seeing
somewhere that a full var can cause strange problems; I've learned the
hard way, and I don't think I'll forget this too quickly.
I found, by googling for the "bad length in CompatMap" message, the
answer on a thread on a German forum [0], and very helpfully translated
by Google, too.
Thanks, Florian.
