Description Andreas Hanke 2006-11-25 08:04:46 UTC 
yast2-printer installs /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2ag_cups.la and /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2ag_ppd.la.

As many other YaST modules are not installing their .la files, you might want to check whether this file is really needed, and remove it if it is not.
Comment 1 Michal Zugec 2006-11-27 08:45:12 UTC 
from *.la head:
# libpy2ag_cups.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.
Comment 2 Andreas Hanke 2006-11-27 08:56:01 UTC 
The comment in the .la file is invalid.

Most of the other YaST2 plugins are removing their .la files and these two ones aren't needed either. yast2-printer works fine without them.

Example from the yast2-sound spec file:

rm -rf %{buildroot}/%{_libdir}/YaST2/plugin/libpy2ag_audio.la

Nothing links to these libraries because they are actually not libraries, but plugins.
Comment 3 Andreas Hanke 2006-11-27 09:17:46 UTC 
LATER would be fine.
Comment 4 Andreas Hanke 2006-11-27 10:29:13 UTC 
This report was, from the beginning on, intended for 10.3 => LATER
Comment 5 Michal Zugec 2007-11-21 10:49:01 UTC

Comment 6 Michal Zugec 2007-11-21 12:29:59 UTC 
fixed in yast2-printer-2.16.5
