Binary package hint: lsb
This just started yesterday. I do continual LSB testing of Ubuntu-latest, usually once a week or so. The lsb-apache package (part of the application battery, part of the distro certification tests) runs the following scripts at install/uninstall:
/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache
/usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache
Running the latter on the current system, when alien/dpkg installs the package yields:
root@ubuntu-latest-32:~# /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/lsb-apache
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
I'm also seeing failures in the core-test "init" tests, which could be related to this same issue, as they also install/remove a couple of dummy init scripts and look at the starup/shutdown dependency stack.
Bugs at our end, for reference:

I'm seeing this on 12.04 Alpha too. Seems to be due to the fact that the hashbang in install_initrd specifies python3, but its dependency 'initdutils' does not comply to python3 syntax.
