I did...but you are definitely asking the right qustion.
I didn't see:
grundler@debian:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           10 Jul 10 11:13 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so -> libXt.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Aug 12 10:29 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 -> libXt.so.6.0-orig
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       402072 Aug 11 19:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       397408 Feb 25 21:57 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0-orig

deleting the -orig file(s!) and fixing up the symlink(s) got xpdf
working again.  Yeah!
I found 6 or 7 X11/libs had been redirected to the -orig files.

Thanks for asking the right stupid question....and I'll have
to take the blame for leaving -orig files laying around.
Randolph observed ldconfig will fixup the links if something
"newer" (based on filename) is available. And "man ldconfig"
talks about how that works. *sigh*

Besides the /lib and /usr/lib directories (default), ldconfig
also looks at:
grundler <525>cat /etc/ld.so.conf 
/usr/X11R6/lib
grundler <526>


if I can just figure out what's botching the colors for xchat2 now...

thanks,
