Depending on your PATH you get one or the other. Renaming /usr/bin/lpr to lpr.old only helps until the next "make world" creates a new /usr/bin/lpr. Is there a solution that is independent of PATH and "make world"-resistent? Maybe remove the old BSD lpr from the base system into a package that one may install or not? Or is there a way to keep "make world" from installing certain binaries (which, in turn, would have to be "cvs update"-resistent?)
