Plugin installation failed: NameError: name 'get_distro_std_name' is not defined. Did you mean: 'get_distro_name'?

We have a bug on Debian with hplip-3.22.10. The user's report
is at

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1029459

Both hp-plugin and './hplip-3.22.10-plugin.run' fail. There
appears to have been some change in

  /usr/share/hplip/base/password.py

that might have been the cause.

Regards,

Brian.

I also get this problem.

Debian Bug#1030043 appears to be the same issue.

After proprietary plugin couldn't be installed on Debian 12 (Bookworm) with hplip 3.22.10 installed from repositories, I removed the package to manually install from hplip-3.22.6.run which gave this message:

error: debian-n/a version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed. However trying to install using debian-11 version packages.

So, it was only possible to continue with the installation using debian-11 version packages.
This was completed with only this message:

warning: CUPSEXT could not be loaded. Please check HPLIP installation.

Manual installation from hplip-3.22.6-plugin.run however came to the same dead end as hplip-3.22.10-plugin.run

It seems there's a problem with getting distro name, which can be handled by during the installation of hplip, but not proprietary plugin...

Same for me, hp-check also has the problem

Hello after replacing line 119 in password.py with

```
distro_name = get_distro_name()
```

I was able to install the propriety plugin.

I can confirm this bug too. This is an issue to fix before 23.04 release imho

[Dan Cooper (pcfan1234)]

It has been fixed in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030043#59

[Milos Ivanovic (mivanovic)]

Ubuntu 23.04 has been released with this bug, while the fix is already available in Debian. Please fix it ASAP.

[Paul Dooley (pilotpaul)]

I can confirm the workaround in comment #6 works under Ubuntu 23.04, pending the fix from Debian being incorporated into the Ubuntu repositories.
