Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.64-1
Severity: normal

$ sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA:/usr/sbin/exim4 already running.
$ echo $?
1

In my reading, this is a violation of LSB
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
where exit code shuold be zero if service is running and ok.

Thanks to Heiko Schlittermann for pointing this out.

Greetings
Marc
