After having more trouble with the kernel which prevented me from starting, the error disappeared after a system repair. I repaired the installation via the chroot option from the alternate CD and ran a reinstall, followed by dist-upgrade from there. This fixed it, so I suppose there was something screwed up with the packages I had installed. Sorry for inconvenience.
