<p>I cannot understand why Xenial (16.04) dropped lsb in the

have tried two of the suggested solutions and the printer-<wbr>driver-<wbr>escpr

XP-410 (I lucked out).</p>
<p>My request regarding the lsb packages of 15.10: PLEASE put
them back into 16.04. They might be "outdated" in some
peoples opinion but the users are at the mercy of 3rd party

Hello Richard,<br>
<br>
most individual packages (like lsb) available from the Ubuntu
repositories are not maintained by the Xubuntu team. What that
practically means is that the Xubuntu team does not make decisions
about them being in the archive or not.<br>
<br>
If you want to discuss about putting some package back in the
repositories, you will at least need to talk to the maintainer of
the package. It's possible that the reason a package is removed from
the repositories is because it wouldn't work with other package
versions in the release. If you are lucky and this is not the case,
you still need to convince the package maintainer (or a new one) to
reintroduce the package and make sure it works. If you get this far,
you will also need the archive admins to approve the now "new"
package.<br>
<br>
You can increase your possibilities for reinclusion by volunteering
to doing one or more of the actual tasks I mentioned above.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
