I initially did the permission fix per comment #86; that solved the problem (I was getting the error at boot time; 12.04 LTS; TeamViewer 8 installed).
Then I read (and actually understood #89, so I undid the permission change, ran Update Manager, noticed that lsb (4.0-0ubuntu20.3) was there, and updated. No error on reboot!
