I have just updated meteor and i am getting this error. As a result,the error is not known to heroku and the app just fails but in my ubuntu installation,it works

=> Started MongoDB.

I too have the same problem. Just as the OP, the apps works locally (ubuntu) but does not when I deploy to DigitalOcean using MUPX.

This issue is being tracked here:

TLDR: It looks like the cfs:gridfs package is the culprit.
