In case it matters: I made the initial update with aptitude in my graphical session (KDE on X11).
OK, downgrading from the broken system state didn't work either and left
me with a lot of segfaulting programs. In the end it seems that 2.73-3
isn't really broken, but the update process is somehow. After I went to
a rescue system and redid the update from there, everything worked out.
Now 2.73-3 is working here as well. In the rescue system environment the
post-install scripts ran successfully.
