Is there a possibility to verify that?

That's what I've already been doing for some time - up to now without any 
proper results.

I even recompiled the perl packages - without any errors.

I just cannot understand why it works for Ted Carnahan:
http://www.tedcarnahan.com/2009/07/09/installing-backuppc-on-openwrt/

- but does not work for me. The main difference I see is that his installation 
is on a mipsel platform, whereas mine is a armeb device.

I will try to get further tomorrow - today I have to go to bed at last.

Thanks for your help,
Christoph
