Hello,

after purging all qgis-related packages via aptitude purge I had to 
delete the following files manually, what I did:

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/qgis.conf
/home/albin/.qgis
/home/albin/.config/QuantumGIS/qgis.conf
/home/albin/.qgis/qgis.db
/usr/lib/qgis
/usr/lib/qgis/libqgis_core.so
/usr/lib/qgis/libqgis_gui.so

After that, I did an aptitude install qgis, which installed the 
following packages:

libgdal1-1.4.0-grass libqgis-core0.11 libqgis-gui0.11 python-qgis qgis 
qgis-plugin-grass

And, voila! The projections now appear! Everything works as expected 
now. It seems that under certain circumstances (as I said in an mail 
earlier today, on another machine everything worked from the beginning, 
but where also old versions of qgis were installed...) old qgis-files 
bring some troubles...

Thank you!
Best wishes from Austria,
Albin
