I upgraded my server from 11.1 to 11.4. I was having problems starting the flexlm license server. Kept getting file not found. Problem was that LSB was not installed. The lsb-release (Linux Standard Base Release Tools) was installed, lsb (Linux Standard Base Core) was not installed. Checked other installs, 11.3 and 11.1 have lsb installed, 11.4 does not. Does anyone know why LSB Core not installed by default on 11.4? Thanks.

as far as i know it is default installed, it was here:
denverd@linux-os114:~> locate lsb_
/usr/bin/lsb_release
/usr/share/man/man1/lsb_release.1.gz
and, in the sequence of installed rpms, it was first installed as
package number 462 (early early, initial install) and then updated to a
newer version with package number 1041:
denverd@linux-os114:~> rpm -qa | grep -n lsb-
462:lsb-release-2.0-9.1.noarch
1041:lsb-4.0-12.1.i586
now, why it didn’t default install for you, i have no idea but i do
wonder what you meant by “I upgraded my server from 11.1 to 11.4”, that
is, how did you do that?
afaik there is no supported, suggested or recommended path direct from
11.1 to 11.4 without intervening steps to 11.2 and 11.3, cites:

It may be due to the way you “upgraded”. And as there are many ways to do such a sort of action and you do not describe what you did, it is difficult to make any assumption.
I’m sure lsb-release was installed on my laptop, lsb wasn’t. Yet I also know that it was installed on a friend’s laptop, the 15 inch sister of mine. Both 64bit. I ran into it soon after install, don’t remember why.
I just had a quick visit to 12 11.4 machines. Three were clean install, nine upgrades, seven servers (no X) five desktops. Only two, my laptop and a mailserver had lsb installed. All had lsb-release installed. A 12.1-ms5 server install + KDE-4.7.1 only had lsb-release.
“locate lsb_” only finds lsb-release files, “locate lsb-” finds lsb core files. I used “rpm -q lsb” and “rpm -q lsb-release”.
On the laptop google-chrome-beta depended on lsb. On the mailserver lsb and lsb-release are orphans.
lsb-release is on the 11.4 DVD; lsb is not on the DVD.
Same here - except on a 64bit system.
I’m sure lsb-release is installed by default on 11.4 because otherwise it would be the first thing I would install as soon as I get access to a terminal and run my installation script. I do have lsb installed too but didn’t install it manually … Wait a minute … It looks like it was installed by google-earth-stable (!).

My upgrade was a clean install from 11.1. I have been looking at different computers here, some were upgraded from 11.2 or 11.3 most were clean installs from 11.1 or older.
This is from a script I use to control my computers. Xena is the 11.4 server that I had to install LSB, the only other 11.4 computer that had LSB was doom3 and that is used by a programer that installs what ever he needs.
Enter command: For example mkdir /var/log/oldLogs
cat /etc/*release;rpm -qa|grep lsb

Started YaST2. In Software Management selected RPM “Requires” and searched for lsb. The only package I saw that requited LSB in Dependencies was rear (Relax and Recover). The others require lse-release.
