After yesterday's upgrades (NOT including exim4 packages), I get a failure to
start exim4 running the /etc/init.d/exim4 script.

If I manually run with presumably the same arguments, i.e. exim4 -bd -q30m,
all is well.

Anyone had this problem, fixed it?

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477194
and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406059

The problem actually appears to be caused by lsb-base. One respondent to
the bug report stated that downgrading lsb-base to 3.2-8 fixed it for
him. I didn't have 3.2-8 in my archive and was too lazy to track it down
so I downgraded to 3.2-7 and was then able to start Exim normally.
