I cannot confirm this (just tried with removing and re-installing boinc-client).

Maybe BOINC exits right after starting up for you already.

Please look into /var/lib/boinc-client/stderrdae.txt and stdoutdae.txt in the same directory (you'll have to do so with sudo, e.g. "sudo less /var/lib/boinc-client/stderrdae.txt").

Also, you should be able to re-trigger this error when fixing the installation, via "sudo apt-get install -f" - can you try/verify this, please?
