Title:
  lsb package incompatible with Python 2.7

Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The LSB utils use the old-style (Python 2.2) "raise" statement
  throughout the Python code for tools like initdutils.  With Python
  2.7, this causes them to error out.  Example:

  =========

  Stopping LogMeIn Hamachi VPN tunneling engine logmein-hamachi *
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd", line 3, in <module>
      import sys, re, os, initdutils
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/initdutils.py", line 18
      raise ValueError, 'need a file or string'
                      ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  Unpacking replacement logmein-hamachi ...
  Setting up logmein-hamachi (2.1.0.86-1) ...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd", line 3, in <module>
      import sys, re, os, initdutils
    File "/usr/lib/lsb/initdutils.py", line 18
      raise ValueError, 'need a file or string'
                      ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  Starting LogMeIn Hamachi VPN tunneling engine logmein-hamachi *

  ==========

  Please take two steps from here:

  1. kick the bug upstream.

  2. add a packaging requirement for lsb-core depending on Python 2.5
  until they fix their code.
