I can't say I'm entirely happy with my result so far, but I have
figured out the general thrust of this bug. Minetest seems
incompatible with the libjsoncpp in Debian. Solving this issue
properly may be a mess, but the proof for the location of the problem
also suggests a temporary workaround.
If you have the Minetest source available (Upstream source --
git://github.com/minetest/minetest), it contains src/json/. From
within, you can simply g++ -shared jsoncpp.cpp -o libjsoncpp.so.0
and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to force the current Debian package to load
that preferentially to the system-wide version. Suddenly, the server
list and online mod repo work as they do upstream.
An obvious temporary solution is to keep the bundled libjsoncpp, but a
long-term solution will require figuring out why the system libjsoncpp
fails and either making it work correctly or making Minetest use it
correctly, dependent on which is behaving improperly.
I haven't looked too deeply into which is responsible, though I'd
suspect Minetest. I'll look into it later, but it is quite late right
now, so I figured I'd send in what I have and get to bed.
