Are you aware that Debian 2.2 has not been released? If you used the 'unstable' branch (the future 2.2), this is called 'unstable' for a reason(the libc is moving fast)... You should not use it unless you subscribe to debian-devel, or, at least, debian-devel-announce.

But, on my Debian 'unstable', it works:

$ createdb test
$ psql test
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:

type \? for help on slash commands
type \q to quit
type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
You are currently connected to the database: test

test=>

Hence the question: what are your environment variables? And the versions of Debian packages? (postgresql, libc6, etc).
