[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#768465: Bug#768465: mpd: Fails to start due to missing shared libs after upgrade

Hi Marwan,

this is most unusual - that library (libmpcdec.so.3) is very old, it was
hipped with Debian etch or lenny. It is definitely not required by the
mpd in jessie, which depends on libmpcdec6, shipping libmpcdec.so.6!

Perhaps you have an old, self-compiled mpd lying around somewhere? How
do you start mpd, from the command line / as your user, or as a system
service? What mpd binary is started then (what does 'which mpd' say)? If
you run 'ldd' on that binary, what version of libmpcdec.so does it say
it wants?
