This is likely a problem in libdbi1, which was recently upgraded from
0.8.x to 0.9.0. The upgrade may have broken the search path there. Can
you try with the libdbi from testing?

Because it's not the system linker searching, but libdbi itself.
syslog-ng (correctly) initializes libdbi with its default search path,
so the problem lies in libdbi, most likely.

I'll give it a try too, but if you could test with the libdbi1 in
testing too, that would be great.
