Comment 12 for bug 1510950

On a clean Ubuntu 15.10 x64 installation, I have the same issue. Installation hangs in the GUI- and in the terminal-version.

when is execute hplip-plugin -i it hangs with rotating "|". When I terminate the program (CRTL-C) I get some Python Traceback messages which may be helpful:

/^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "./plugin_install.py", line 184, in <module>
    if not installPlugin():
  File "./plugin_install.py", line 56, in installPlugin

    r, w, e = self.__select([self.child_fd], [], [], timeout)

    return select.select(iwtd, owtd, ewtd, timeout)
KeyboardInterrupt

I attach the complete output.

If any further information is required, please let me know.
