Description Martin Mokrejš 2003-03-13 19:08:07 UTC
When user has lprng installed and decides to install cups (actually, cups was
picked up automatically through dependencies in my case), then user ends up with
lprng installed but /usr/bin/lp, /usr/bin/lpr overwritten by binaries of same
name from cups.

Unfortunately, the new /usr/bin/lp* programs complain that they cannot contact
server ... although /usr/sbin/lprng is running ... it's a nightmare.

Solution? Compile cups with configure option not to build these or uninstall
lprng first.

Reproducible: Always

filename conflicts should be detected, before  qmerge stage. i've come accross problem w/  /usr/bin/scan being used by net-mail/nmh  and media-video/linuxtv-dvb .

shouldn't happend, both cups and lrnpg provide virtual/lpr and have a !virtual/lpr in depend.

Sorry for my ignorance, what does that mean?
Comment 5 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-15 08:52:23 UTC
that means that cups and lrnpg can't be isntalled at the same time
