Or worse, "starts with lsb-, ends in .rpm, is a v3 rpm, and depends on lsb and nothing else", which is what I have found you really have to look for right now to be assuered you have a lab package, and not any of these: a) a source rpm for a lsb package b) a package like lsb-tools that is not a lsb package, but just starts with lsb- because it has to do with the lsb c) a package like debian's lsb-release.deb which someone has converted into a rpm using alien Which is why I continue to say that if you want lsb packages to be easily and mechanically detectable by programs like alien, and clearly lsb packages to users, there needs to be a new extension, a change in the file format like the one Erik Troan and I came up with or, preferably, both. -- see shy jo, feeling that this thread has been going in circles lately
