Comment 41 for bug 712377

LSB compliant printer drivers with a libc dependency as distributed via the Linux Foundation's OpenPrinting Database still fail to install. These packages do not specify an explicit dependency on libc but rely on the distribution's lsb package to do so. The LSB is clear about what API of libc has to be present. Compliant drivers only use what is in specified in the LSB.

Please remove "missing-dependency-on-libc" from data/lintian-checks. It is already listed in a non fatal section, so please don't bomb on this.

FYI, the drivers distributed via the OpenPrinting Database are normally installed automatically when people connect their printer. This is a new feature in Natty and works fine. However, manually downloading that same driver and double clicking it bombs. It really shouldn't, at least not because of an indirect libc dependency via the lsb package.
