Wreckage following RHEL U3 update

[Carl Riches <riches ms washington edu>]

We found out that the RHEL U3 update partially removes our LPRng
installation.  We don't yet know what caused this, but we think that
it was caused by the cups package update.  We'll know more later, as
we do more testing.

The RHEL U3 update removes the LPRng package entry from the RPM database.
It also removes the lpr, lpq, lpd, etc. binaries.  It does not touch
the /etc/printcap file, the /etc/lpd directory nor the /etc/rc*.d/ files.

We've not had this problem with past updates.  Has anyone else run into a
problem like this?
