These are provided by net-print/cups[-lprng-compat]:

Code: Select all

# equery f cups | grep -e 'lpinfo\|lpadmin\|lpstat'
/usr/bin/lpstat
/usr/sbin/lpadmin
/usr/sbin/lpinfo

There is an explicit warning about this in the ebuild:

Code: Select all

    # for the special case of running lprng and cups together, bug 467226
    if use lprng-compat ; then
        rm -fv "${ED}"/usr/bin/{lp*,cancel}
        rm -fv "${ED}"/usr/sbin/lp*
        rm -fv "${ED}"/usr/share/man/man1/{lp*,cancel*}
        rm -fv "${ED}"/usr/share/man/man8/lp*
        ewarn "Not installing lp... binaries, since the lprng-compat useflag is set."
        ewarn "Unless you plan to install an exotic server setup, you most likely"
        ewarn "do not want this. Disable the useflag then and all will be fine."

You enabled lprng-compat, so the ebuild deleted those programs.

Indeed, thank you very much.
