try this:

sudo apt get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo shutdown -r now

which will

  * update your sources [doesn't look like you did this]
  * upgrade all the packages and
  * reboot.

i don't think the problem is the lsc package itself. in fact, here's the
updates/installs that ultimately resulted in the error disappearing:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/846531/

here's the error i had originally. note the _/*emphasized*/_:

so we have the same problem. the next question is whether or not the
solution i've proposed fixes it. it should! i have a guess it's the
upgrade in python that makes up the difference.
