Description john gibbe 2016-09-02 09:29:49 CEST

Description of problem:

In the updated cups-common package, the name of some programs has changed:
lpr-cups is now named lpr.cups, lpq-cups is lpq.cups ans so on.

As I update from mga5 to cauldron, it has broken the symbolic link chain:
/usr/bin/lpr -> /etc/alternatives/lpr
/etc/alternatives/lpr -> /usr/bin/lpr-cups
and the same for other lp* programs

if I link /etc/alternatives/lp* programs to the correct target it resolve that issue.

remarks:
- I didn't find the new target for lpmove
- I've not been able to find out from where /etc/alternatives comes (which package)
 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.install mga5
2.update to cauldron
3.open an application eg kwrite and try to print
