Bug#527445: Fails at configuration ("delimiter character is not a single-byte character")

[David]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-10
Severity: serious

Some of the output of apt-get -f install:

Setting up exim4-config (4.69-10) ...
sed: -e expression #1, char 2: delimiter character is not a single-byte
character
dpkg: error processing exim4-config (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Because of that, packages exim4-base, exim4-daemon-light and exim4 are left
unconfigured as well.
