	You can see that the MyAddress line on the Debian machine does not 
have 'addrs' in it, which is required (for reasons that aren't worth 
getting into).  You can also see that the Debian file is missing the 
SharedPortCommandSinfuls entirely.  This isn't required, but since that 
attribute made its first appearance in 8.3.5, I'm wondering if you somehow 
have an old copy of the shared port daemon lying around.  (An installation 
built from source will probably have placed binaries in a different place 
than a new .deb package, as I understand it.)  That could, potentially, 
also explain why the shared port daemon wasn't able to sends its keepalive 
to the master.

	If you didn't have the shared port daemon turned on, you can 
always turn it back off with

USE_SHARED_PORT = FALSE

in the configuration file.  If you'd like to use shared port, I'd check to 
make sure that `condor_config_val SHARED_PORT` points to an up-to-date 
copy of the shared port daemon.
