I actually had the same problem, but a different symptom. Trying to run
some programs (like chromium, for example) yielded the following error:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 684: _dl_open: Assertion
`_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
Doing an strace suggested the problem might lie in libjson, and that it
would not find it. Here is a snippet of strace's output:

I did a dirty fix by making a symlink to the library I found on
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson.so.0
to /usr/lib, but I'm pretty sure that's not the way to go on the long run.
