Bug Description
In the same way as the closed bug for Debian 8.7
(https:/
when hplip (3.17.11) is going to be installed in a Debian 9.3, it complains about missing dependencies and stops installation:
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4-dbus (PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for
PyQt4)' is still missing.
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python
(for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.
error: Installation cannot continue without these dependencies.
error: Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.
The fact is that it seems that installer takes Debian 9.1 distro config from ./installer/
If file distros.dat is updated with a section for 9.3 and a reference to it in same file, its installation works, so the point is that:
something is failing when installing hplip in a newer Debian version (9.3) using latest hplip's known distro version (9.1). I guess I could have taken out version numbers from previous sentence and that this is the part should be solved otherwise for each new Debian distro (and others?), there will be failed installations and bugs reported.
Thanks,
Josep
With this
"If file distros.dat is updated with a section for 9.3 and a reference to it in same file, its installation works"
I meant creating a section for 9.3 by just taking 9.1 section and changing all 9.1 by 9.3. Well, I only changed release date from it.
