the packaging system doesn't use the local directory it's meant as a way
to override system version and that's what you have been doing,
reinstalling the package doesn't change things you did in the local
directory, that's not an ubuntu bug

Hello,
I'm sorry, but the system was too much unstable in the above state : I needed
to reinstall quickly.
I am now in 8.10 version, and I cannot reproduce the bug.
I hope that nobody will encounter the same desagreement as it is very
stressful.
PS: I was thinking that apt-get install
could you run ldd /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 and copy the log to a comment?
you likely have a local version hijacking the distribution one
