OK,

I've uninstalled context: "mpm --uninstall=context"
as well as all other context packages installed through mpm:
for `f in mpm --list|grep context|grep ^i|tr -s [:space:]|cut -d ' ' -f 4`; \
do mpm --uninstall=${f}; done

Then I've downloaded
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

and followed the instructions in:
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/minstall.pdf

<edit and activate context formats>
# slocate fmtutil.cnf
/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
/etc/texmf/fmtutil.d/00fmtutil.cnf
#texexec --make

<Regenerate formats>
#cd /usr/local/share/texmf
#unzip ~/DOWNLOADS/cont-tmf.zip
#texexec --make en de nl
#texexec --make metafun

I've also update /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:
openaout_any = a
shell_escape = t
allow_multiple_suffixes = f
MPXCOMMAND=texexec --mptex

But I now get following error when I run:

$texexec new.tex
