LPR install

[Nobody's Hero]

I am trying to install this package:

LPRng-3.8.27-1.i386.rpm

This I hope will allow me to use PCL code the way I want to use it. This is what I get during the install:

rpm -i LPRng-3.8.27-1.i386.rpm
file /etc/printcap from install of LPRng-3.8.27-1 conflicts with file from package setup-2.5.25-1

I was going to remove setup-2.5.25-1 but I afraid it will cause problems. Here is what I get when I try to remove setup-2.5.25-1:

rpm --erase setup-2.5.25-1
error: Failed dependencies:
setup >= 2.5.4-1 is needed by (installed) filesystem-2.2.1-3
setup is needed by (installed) basesystem-8.0-2
setup >= 2.0.3 is needed by (installed) initscripts-7.14-1
setup is needed by (installed) dump-0.4b28-7
setup is needed by (installed) xinetd-2.3.10-6
/etc/services is needed by (installed) Canna-3.6-12

How do I get this installed?

Odd.. Anyway, for safety take a copy of '/etc/printcap' and put it somewhere, then use the '--force' option to RPM to force the installation in:

rpm --force -ivh LPRng-3.8.27-1.i386.rpm
