How do you know those files from Ubuntu system works on Debian. I do
not think you even checked version. There is no binary compatibility
gurantee even though it works sometims.
FYI: I only have /sbin/ldconfig and no /sbin/ldconfig.real on my lenny.
Your action may have work as emergency tactics but this kind of action
requires full reinstall after backing up your data on the system.
It looks to me you have broken system sometime ago by yourself.
Reinstall is the easiest way to get same state for such case.
