Ok,

Seems like the computer had a "diverted" install of /sbin/start-stop-daemon.

Fixed it by running:

  dpkg-divert --remove /sbin/start-stop-daemon
  mv /sbin/start-stop-daemon /sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL


I need to investigate why it was diverted. Probably because the Debian
installer did not complete cleanly. Strange that nothing else (AFAIK)
seems to be malfunctioning on this machine when start-stop-daemon is basically
not there.

Cheers
Ruben
