[rpmbuild@1up ~]$ cat SPECS/redhat-lsb.spec | grep lp Requires: /usr/bin/lp Requires: /usr/bin/lpr Looks like redhat-lsb requires cups here... because: [rpmbuild@1up ~]$ rpm -qi redhat-lsb ... Description : The Linux Standards Base (LSB) is an attempt to develop a set of standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions. The redhat-lsb package provides utilities needed for LSB Compliant Applications. It also contains requirements that will ensure that all components required by the LSB that are provided by Red Hat Linux are installed on the system. Maybe trying with nodeps to keep redhat-lsb on.

Removing cups broke a few things needing lsb_release.
