Comment 1 David Walser 2013-08-20 23:54:48 CEST

I see the update-alternatives calls in %post common that should fix this, but they are using %{_extension} for the man pages compression extension (.xz), but that macro isn't defined anywhere.  Maybe that's the problem?

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2013-09-13 11:22:53 CEST

It's a long time we drop support for cups alternatives (lpd-ng, ...) (read: may many years)

we could just try to no more renaming those files...

Comment 3 Bit Twister 2015-07-01 10:24:16 CEST

verified bug still valid in release 5.

Source RPM: cups-1.7-0.rc1.6.mga4.src.rpm => cups-2.0.2-5.mga5.src.rpm

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2015-07-01 12:24:00 CEST

(In reply to David Walser from comment #1)
%{_extension} is defined in /etc/rpm/macros.d/20build.macros if rpm-mageia-setup-build is installed so it's correctly resolved at build time as you check with rpm -q --scripts cups-common

I'll just kill generic symlinks on disable/enable/reject*, there's no point in keeping those.
