Varnish on Debian - libvarnish.so.1 not found

Question

I'm trying to install Varnish on Debian 6.0.3 and am getting the following error when I try to start the server

/usr/sbin/varnishd: error while loading shared libraries: libvarnish.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Runnig ldd 'which varnish' tells me this:

libvarnish.so.1 => not found
libvarnishcompat.so.1 => not found

I also found this question on the same topic, but my problem is that the file really is missing...

you need to run:

apt-get --reinstall install libvarnish1

	run command "updatedb", then run "locate libvarnish.so.1", and tell me what output you get. – Frank Nov 12 '11 at 11:37
