This unstable machine has nothing related to any hplip package on it. I have just installed hplip-data 3.17.10+repack0-5. root@test:~# ls -l /usr/share/hplip/ui5/ | wc -l 71 This includes __pycache__, which is generated at install time. After purging hplip-data: root@test:~# ls -l /usr/share/hplip/ ls: cannot access '/usr/share/hplip/': No such file or directory Am I missing some nuance in your report? Regards, Brian.
