Description:
This code in /opt/mysql/enterprise/agent/etc/init.d/mysql-service-agent:

 if test -f $lsb_functions ; then
   source $lsb_functions
 else

is not posix compliant. As the top of the script is declared with #!/bin/sh, this will
break on recent ubuntu installs which do not use bash as /bin/sh

How to repeat:
Just try it on a recent (I'm using gutsy, but feisty should have this as well) ubuntu

Suggested fix:
Either: declare the top of the script with /bin/bash, or replace the source
$lsb_functions with . $lsb_functions
