Bug 2088203

Hi

I'm trying to install Canon MF4890dw driver for printing but the script fails because it depends on /usr/bin/lsb_release this is the error message I'm getting:

error: Failed dependencies:
	/usr/bin/lsb_release is needed by cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk-5.50-1.07.x86_64

so I'd appreciate it if you could provide us with this package and if not possible, suggest us other alternatives. So maybe we might fix it by making a link into /usr/bin/lsb_release

+1 - Please add it!

I downloaded the following from Fedora 36

redhat-lsb-4.1-56.fc36.src.rpm
mailx-12.5-41.fc36.src.rpm
ncurses-6.2-9.20210508.fc36.src.rpm
star-1.6-6.fc36.src.rpm

, made EL 9 RPMS and installed it on RHEL 9 as a workaround for now.

Made EL9 RPMS ? Could you please shed more light on how you did that ? I need to add fedora 36 Repo or what ?
Thanks

I downloaded them using the command yumdownloader in a Fedora 36 VM.
you can manually download them from 
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/36/Everything/source/tree/Packages/
if you do not want to install Fedora.

Once downloaded on your RHEL 9 machine,
install the rpm-build package.
and do the step from here
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM

rpmbuild --rebuild /tmp/mypackage-1.0.0-1.src.rpm

Hi,

I'm also trying to install Canon printer drivers on RHEL 9 and I'm getting the same error.

I downloaded all the files from Fedora installed the rpm-build package (at least I think so), but the installation of the drivers ends up with the same error.
I struggled the most with 'RebuildSRPM' part and probably did something wrong. 
I'd be very thankful if you could help me with this part.

Thanks,
Greg

Yes, I got an Epson printer and just ran into the same issue. Is there a timeline for resolution? I tried getting the redhat-lsb packages from fedora and tried rpmbuild --rebuild too. But, I still ended up in the same place.

Sorry, this is my first time using the bugzilla portal, I don't know how or why the needinfo flag was removed.

I just followed all the instructions above for an Epson printer and it failed again.

are there and you can build EL 9 RPMs from the source RPMs

The lack of this package in RHEL9 is preventing the use of MongoDB Compass as well[1].

I think the solution should be Red Hat / CentOS Stream 9 providing the packages, as this hack is a temporary solution.

the command should be modified as

sudo dnf install redhat-lsb-core-4.1-56.el9.x86_64.rpm ncurses-compat-libs-6.2-9.20210508.el9.x86_64.rpm spax-1.6-6.el9.x86_64.rpm redhat-lsb-submod-security-4.1-56.el9.x86_64.rpm ncurses-base-6.2-9.20210508.el9.noarch.rpm

as all the new packages are in the same directory.

The problem is ncurses is a system package and there will be issues when Red Hat or CentOS releases updates to ncurses.

Perhaps this weekend I will bring redhat-lsb from fedora to epel 9 , I'm studying the case

If of any help, I just needed redhat-lsb-core on RHEL 9
I was able to build it on RHEL 9.1 using
ncurses-6.3-4.20220501.fc37.src.rpm
and
redhat-lsb-4.1-59.fc37.src.rpm
from Fedora 37.

please follow this bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2118596 , as this is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 bug and we maybe will fix it on EPEL 9
