Hi folks, balay@xxxxxxxxxxx said: > - CUPS obsoletes LPRng - so if using apt - it will always prompt to > remove LPRng. (i just stick with yum) I find that if I do the following, both CUPS and LPRng seem to run fine: rpm -e cups --nodeps rpm -i LPRng-3.8.27-1.i386.rpm --replacefiles rpm -i cups-1.1.20-11.1.i386.rpm (The "--replacefiles" is necessary because the LPRng package I'm using has two file conflicts: /etc/printcap from setup-2.5.33-1 and /usr/share/man/man1/monitor.1.gz from perl-SGI-FAM-1.002-1.) There's still a problem, though: If, instead of using rpm to re-install cups, I use "yum install cups" the install procedure ends up by un-installing LPRng. The same thing happens if I install an earlier version of cups, then do a "yum update cups". This leads me to believe that LPRng will be nuked the next time I do a "yum update". I could always do a "yum --exclude cups update", but then I'd have to manually watch out for cups updates. Does anybody know what the philosophy is behind obsoleting LPRng with the cups package? Could the Fedora Core developers be persuaded to remove this?
