Reproducible...
On a different box, doing a fresh Distribution-CD installation of
6.06_LTS, and after upgrading all packages to current revs. [ a/o

Moving the /etc/debian_version out of the way.

Before I move the debian_version file back into place and proceed with

in no hurry...
And as I indicated before: This appears to be a regression bug. :-(
thanx,
