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

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.
