So I uninstalled every "tex" related package (showing version 2007) with Synaptic, which results in

chrisp at chrisp-desktop:~$ dpkg -l tex-common
Gewünscht=Unbekannt/Installieren/R=Entfernen/P=Vollständig Löschen/Halten

||/ Name           Version        Beschreibung
+++-==============-==============-============================================
un  tex-common     <keine>        (keine Beschreibung vorhan

and did a

texhash

afterwards.

As you said,

which pdflatex

points to the right directory, but unfortunately, Texmaker now responds

Error : could not start the command

when trying to start PDFLaTeX with default notation as

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

If I point Texmaker to

"/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex"

it works just fine.

I also did a logout/login, as well as an uninstall/reinstall of Texmaker (also of the .deb file from the website of Texmaker) no success...

That gives the (I think) correct output, with

chrisp at chrisp-desktop:~$ latex -v
pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009)
kpathsea version 5.0.0
