Oddly, the default Ubuntu 13.10 image on a Digital Ocean droplet doesn't have php5-json available which is on saucy. This image had raring instead so I had to use php5-common. Did you update your apt repositories?

[update] I am using Ansible plus the very helpful tugboat gem but I copied the wrong ID number. User error. So installing php5-json is fine now. But not mcrypt as you noted. Thanks much for that.

Glad to hear you were able to get it working, I have a droplet on D.O. running with this setup.
