I have solved the issue: It was an OSGi dependency resolution problem and it has nothing to do with camel directly.
Karaf Feature camel-couchdb has a dependency to bundle lightcouch as you can see in the feature xml file: But lightcouch has a dependency to /org.apache.commons.logging/ with version [1.2,2). /Pax Loggin/, standard logging bundle in Apache Karaf, however is using and exporting /org.apache.commons.logging/ with version *1.1.1*. Consequently the dependency for lightcouch could not be fulfilled. I have changed the MANIFEST.MF in lightcouch so it depends on version 1.1.1 and now it is fine.
