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

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