As I wrote in my post a few minutes ago, the tile rendering seems to work 
already - I get tile with rendered maps in it!

I then tried your apt-get line, but I still get two "no" in the result:

Checking for C library iconv... (cached) no
Checking for C library pq... (cached) yes
Checking for C++ library gdal... (cached) no

At least it does not stop me from rendering tiles now.

Thanks for all the quick help!
