Sorry for not being clear enough here. The libmpdec is not available in
default Wheezy. I then first tried installing the Jessie binary one with
the disastrous consequences with the libc. Then i recompiled the package
for wheezy and tried that.

Yes, this is most likely a Debian introduced dependency.

I might miss something important here since i run in to so much trouble.
But as i said earlier, i think i will try swap the base system to Ubuntu
14.04 instead and see if that works better. The LTS release should be a
good candidate to use.

Thanks a lot for the good support!
