since a few days I have trouble, to get any windowmanager started, and
some other very important applications crash (for example mysqld).
It only happened to me today, when I updated Sid.
The system, I am running is debian-amd64/sid (0unstable) with full updates.
At last, this si the output, I get running tempfile (or start the
application like a windowmanager or whatever).

This is a bug in 'debianutils' version 3.1. When I went to report it
today, I found that others had already reported it, and it had already
been fixed by Manoj Srivastava:

You need to revert 'debianutils' back to version 3.0.1 until the updated
version hits your mirror -- should be soon. You might still have it in
/var/cache/apt/archives; if so, you can downgrade using 'dpkg -i'.
HTH,
