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?

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...

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
(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.
