Okay, I have installed Ver: 1.8 again. I've rebooted the phone. If someone coud give me precide instructions on what to do next and see if that works? I can do it in terminal but would need to be told each command, etc.

If you, via ssh, log in as root, you become root. That's something completely different than using "sudo gainroot" to become root locally.
Debian can't by itself do anything, since it's, as far as I know, a Linux distribution.
If OP removes the file /usr/sbin/gainroot file it will not be possible to become root using "sudo gainroot" any longer. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough about this in my earlier post. This is done with
Code:
sudo gainroot rm /usr/sbin/gainroot

I was only trying to help and as you didn't actually provide a solution I carried on troubleshooting as best I could.
