Debian Stretch – how to install hamachi (unsatisfied dependency lsb-core)

debiandependencieslinuxtesting

I have a workstation running under Debian testing (stretch). I need to access it from outside my local network, and due to not having a static public IP nor ability to use full port forwarding, for years I've been using Hamachi to access my machines remotely.

Unfortunately on Debian Stretch I can't seem to be able to install the logmein-hamachi package from logmein labs. There is an unsatisfied dependency – lsb-core, which isn't in the stretch repo anymore.

The logmein-hamachi package is from logmein labs:
https://secure.logmein.com/labs/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.139-1_amd64.deb

This is what happens when I try installing the package in question:

sudo dpkg -i logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.139-1_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 177847 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.139-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking logmein-hamachi (2.1.0.139-1) over (2.1.0.139-1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of logmein-hamachi:
 logmein-hamachi depends on lsb-core (>= 3.0); however:
  Package lsb-core is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package logmein-hamachi (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for systemd (228-6) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 logmein-hamachi

Of course I tried installing lsb-core, but it's not in repo anymore (afaik it's been dropped for Debian releases any newer than Jessie):

sudo aptitude install lsb-core
No candidate version found for lsb-core

Has anyone tried to install it or maybe knows how to trick Hamachi into installing and working without it?

The output of dpkg run on the deb is. It looks like a source is not available here.
