Public bug reported: Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped (besides lsb-release and lsb-base):
lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's version.date, with version being Debian next stable's -- Didier Raboud <o...@debian.org> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is not available anymore: epson-inkjet-printer-201106w: Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable This triggers a regression where it is not possible to setup a printer this way (downloading a driver where no local driver is available) anymore. I see two possible solutions: - Add a proper replaces field to one of the remaining lsb-* packages, to hopefully fix missing lsb package (maybe it would be useful to also replace other compability packages that are not built anymore). - Re-introduce LSB compatibility packages, but that might be an overkill. ** Affects: lsb Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lsb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: regression xenial ** Description changed: - Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped recently - (besides lsb-release and lsb-base): + Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped (besides + lsb-release and lsb-base): lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low - * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base - - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release - - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum - - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian - * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's - version.date, with version being Debian next stable's + * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base + - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release + - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum + - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian + * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's + version.date, with version being Debian next stable's - -- Didier Raboud <o...@debian.org> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 + -- Didier Raboud <o...@debian.org> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 - - The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is not available anymore: + The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from + Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are + suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is + not available anymore: epson-inkjet-printer-201106w: - Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable + Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable This triggers a regression where it is not possible to setup a printer this way (downloading a driver where no local driver is available) anymore. - - I see two possible solutions: + I see two possible solutions: - Add a proper replaces field to one of the remaining lsb-* packages, to hopefully fix missing lsb package (maybe it would be useful to also replace other compability packages that are not built anymore). - Re-introduce LSB compatibility packages, but that might be an overkill. ** Also affects: lsb Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lsb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536353 Title: [regression] Printer drivers install is broken as lsb package is not available anymore Status in lsb: New Status in lsb package in Ubuntu: New Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped (besides lsb-release and lsb-base): lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's version.date, with version being Debian next stable's -- Didier Raboud <o...@debian.org> Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is not available anymore: epson-inkjet-printer-201106w: Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable This triggers a regression where it is not possible to setup a printer this way (downloading a driver where no local driver is available) anymore.
