Description Clark Boylan 2020-10-10 19:00:08 UTC 
The lsb spec requires /sbin/pidof which had been supplied by sysvinit-tools. Recent sysvinit-tools update dropped /sbin/pidof in favor of /usr/bin/pidof provided by procps.

This required manual intervention during a `zypper dup` on a tumbleweed installation to workaround. I went with removal of the lsb package as it appears to be fake anyway and nothing I've got installed appears to depend on it.

Not sure if the lsb package should be updated or removed or what, but since this impacts upgradability figured it was worth a bug.

Looks like a duplicate of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177550
Or the other way around.
