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.
