Ok, here is another possible problem source: I just did 'ls /etc/ld*' by accident and got this:

$ ls /etc/ld*
/etc/ld.so.conf /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

/etc/ldap:
ldap.conf

/etc/ld.so.conf.d:
fakeroot-i386-linux-gnu.conf i386-linux-gnu.conf libc.conf x86_64-linux-gnu.conf zz_amd64-biarch-compat.conf zz_i386-biarch-compat.conf.dpkg-new
fakeroot-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf i386-linux-gnu.conf.dpkg-new libc.conf.dpkg-new x86_64-linux-gnu_guile-1.8.conf zz_i386-biarch-compat.conf zz_x32-biarch-compat.conf

So there is a number of .dpkg-new files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d left over that might sabotage the update. Removing them now, rerunning ldconfig and trying again...

Nope. The .dpkg-new files remain gone but the upgrade still fails in the same manner and there is no /etc/ld.so.cache anymore afterwards.
