A work-around which solved it here is to edit "/etc/init.d/exim4" and
remove the quotes surrounding variables holding optional parameters
passed to start-stop-daemon, since if those variables are empty a pair
of quote-marks will be passed to start-stop-daemon.
After editing the file force apt to fix-up the packages:
sudo apt-get -f install
=== /etc/init.d/exim4 fixed start_exim() function ===
start_exim()
{
[ -e /var/run/exim4 ] || \
install -d -oDebian-exim -gDebian-exim -m750 /var/run/exim4
case ${QUEUERUNNER} in
