Need ghostscript-cups 9.18-5 to match ghostscript 9.18-5 in netlabs-rel

Description
Ref: https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=469
Once ghostscript 9.18-5 has been installed from netlabs-rel, it is no longer possible to install ghostscript-cups, as the latest version is 9.10-4, and this leads to a depsolve problem (apparently, 9.18-5 will not satisfy the dependency). cups and cups-lib 2 are also involved, as the current 2.x versions are too new for ghostscript-cups 9.10-4.
The (one?) workaround is to use the versionlock plugin, uninstall the newer ghostscript and cups modules (including cups-client and cups-filesystem, if present), lock ghostscript to 9.10-4 and cups and cups-lib to 1.4.8-5, and install cups-lib and ghostscript-cups. This is not a good solution, however.

This makes sense, Silvan; thanks. How can we make this more visible to the end user? How would one know this before attempting to install ghostscript-cups? Are we missing an obsoletes tag in the ghostscript 9.18 spec, perhaps?

gs spec is perfectly fine. Either I will once change cups-filters spec, or we just remove old gs 9.10 rpm. I need to think which way is better.

I removed all wrong (version 9.10) ghostscript-cups packages from the repo. So a user can't install any wrong such packages anymore.
there is no GS cups package anymore since 9.08. This package is completely not needed as integrated into cups-filters.
