As explained in bug 19684 comment 14 and bug 19684 comment 16, I suggest to drop LSB packages entirely, except lsb_release which can stay (see bug 19684 comment 18). The reason is that per https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lsb-discuss/2023-February/008278.html, "the LSB project is essentially abandoned". Also, per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2118596#c1, Fedora is not willing to waste energy on LSB 5.0 port either. Debian and Ubuntu also dropped support for LSB: https://lwn.net/Articles/658809/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/9.20150917ubuntu1 The changelog mentions: "Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base". And the lsb-base description mentions: "This is an empty package; it's needed only because of Provides: not being supported in debootstrap. It can be safely removed.". So it's basically an empty package. If Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu all dropped support for LSB, I see no point for Mageia to still support it. If you agree with this proposal, then bug 19684 could be closed as WONTFIX.

Thank you for this well documanted case for dropping LSB. It has been mooted for dropping for ages. Devs need to decide: via the mailList? If agreed to, please add it to Bug 32127 "[TRACKER] Packages that need to be obsoleted for Mageia 10 release".
