after all. this is in fact exactly the answer i feared. but my confusion arose of the fact that i once tried the debian pd release and never removed it - so i had two pds installed.
Yep, but double installed libraries are worse, IMO. I just yesterday tried to compile "sweep", which needs libsndlib1 and thus I installed the debs. But sweep's ./configure always found the old libsndlib0 in /usr/local and compilation failed, until I found my error and removed the /usr/local-library.
This is why I try to build even my local packages as Debian packages. This way, newer debian packages override my old packages and deinstall them automatically. A bit of reading in the dpkg-dev packages makes building debian packages rather easy, although they are not policy clean, but nobody cares here :)
