hplip gives out an error about a missing devel package for a user when it shouldn't

[Kristoffer Grundström]

I was running hp-check -i as root in order to see what output it gives me:

 error: sane-devel SANE - Scanning library development files REQUIRED - - MISSING 'sane-devel needs to be installed'
 error: libnetsnmp-devel libnetsnmp-devel - SNMP networking library development files REQUIRED 5.0.9 - MISSING 'libnetsnmp-devel needs to be installed'

 error: python3-notify2 Python libnotify - Python bindings for the libnotify Desktop notifications OPTIONAL - - MISSING 'python3-notify2 needs to be installed'

Missing Required Dependencies

error: 'libsane1-devel' package is missing/incompatible
error: 'sane-backends' package is missing/incompatible
error: 'libnet-snmp-devel' package is missing/incompatible

A normal user shouldn't have to install devel packages in order for it to work without errors.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.19.3

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install hplip and hplip-gui.
2. Run hp-check -i as root.
3. Voila! Those errors will appear.

There's a package conflict between libsane1-devel and lib64sane1-devel that also needs to be adressed at the same time.

This is completely invalid as this is as this from some years now.

Also we don't want to install unneeded "devel" packages in a normal user system!

Closing as INVALID!
