Are you using your own install of valgrind? [and not ubuntu install?]
If so - did you reinstall it after your OS upgrade?

Looks like valgrind packaged by ubuntu/debian is an SVN snapshot of upcoming 3.6

So your choice is to either:

1. install ubuntu valgrind [sudo apt-get install valgrind] - and delete personal copy
2. reinstall valgrind from source [for this upgraded OS]
