How to install lsb-core package on ubuntu 16.04
In order to activate Maple16, I need to install the lsb-core package. However, I cannot find the package in Syanptic Package Manager. I've tried to install it by downloading the .deb file, but when I run sudo dpkg -i /home/foo/Downloads/lsb-core_4.1+Debian11ubuntu6_amd64.deb, the output of the terminal is
(Reading database ... 178439 files and directories currently installed.)

lsb-core seems to have been re-added to Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) just now.
Out of desperation I've downloaded and installed the lsb-core package for Ubuntu 14.04, see here, and this works because now I can activate Maple.
For Ubuntu 16.04, just sudo apt-get install lsb-core worked for me.
To check LSB Version, do lsb_release
With the newest version of Hamachi (2.1.0-165) "[Hamachi] can now be installed without [the] LSB package."
FYI, for anyone looking for this with Hamachi (or others): Found this:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb trusty main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
