In the future, consider using https://www.debian.org/release/stable/ and such. cyberciti.biz usually just copies content from elsewhere, to sell ads against it.

My only thought is that maybe, somehow, you're running a mix of incompatible libraries and executables, some upgraded and some not. You might go into `aptitude`, if it runs, and see what it thinks. The "rescue" option on the Debian image may be able to help you mount and install a proper installation on your existing disks, since it runs its own copy of Linux on a ramdisk. But it's been a long time since I've used it, so I forget the procedure.
