If you have a chance, before you upgrade, can you please send me the
out put of the command:

fsck.ext3 -V

It should look something like this:

e2fsck 1.41-WIP (17-Jun-2008)
       Using EXT2FS Library version 1.41-WIP, 17-Jun-2008

(Although with 1.40.8 instead of 1.41-WIP, of course.)

The key is what version of the ext2fs library you are using.  

Oh, and what does "which fsck.ext3" return?

OK, so you are definitely using the /lib/libext2fs.so.2 from the
system....

And you are using the 1.40.8-2 version of e2fslibs, from which
/lib/libext2fs.so.2 comes.

So I just downloaded e2fslibs_1.40.8-2.deb from ftp.us.debian.org.
The file I downloaded has an MD5 checksum of:

205126c8d83044f4ce1b5845818c7731  /tmp/e2fslibs_1.40.8-2_i386.deb

I extracted the deb file using:

   dpkg-deb -X /tmp/e2fslibs_1.40.8-2_i386.deb -.

This extracted lib/libext2fs.so.2 as a symlink to libext2fs.so.2.4,
and the md5checksum of that file is:

9fac5bd53f38914ba33c9b913fe33c9a  libext2fs.so.2

And if I run "nm -D /lib/libext2fs.so.2 | grep ext2fs_dblist_get_last"
on that file, I get:

% nm -D /lib/libext2fs.so.2 | grep ext2fs_dblist_get_last
0000f250 T ext2fs_dblist_get_last

Since you are not seeing this symbol when you use nm, and yet your
system claims that you have e2fslibs 1.40.8-2 install, I can only
conclude that your /lib/libext2fs.so.2 file must be getting corrupted
or overwritten somehow.

How, I can't imagine....

Can you double check the md5 checksums listed above?  And can you try
reinstalling e2fslibs 1.40.8-2, and then re-trying the nm -D test?

                                                - Ted
