Package: lsb-core
Version: 3.0-11
Severity: important

- lsb-core depends on (lpr) AND (lprng | cupsys-client)
- lprng and cupsys-client conflict with lpr
- lprng and cupsys-bsd provide lpr

as a result, installing lsb-core (or any of the lsb-* packages that depend
on lsb-core) forces removing lpr in favour of lprng or (cupsys-client +
cupsys-bsd), which is both useless and annoying.

why doesn't lsb-core depend simply on (lpr | cupsys-client)?

best regards
