I have looked into this... Here is what hp-check does: --- from check.py --- log.info() log.info(log.bold("Checking SIP version...")) sip_ver = None try: import pyqtconfig except ImportError: pass else: sip_ver = pyqtconfig.Configuration().sip_version_str if sip_ver is not None: log.info("OK, Version %s installed" % sip_ver) else: num_errors += 1 log.error("SIP not installed or version not found.") --- Here is where Debian keeps pyqtconfig: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S pyqtconfig python-qt-dev: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyqtconfig.py python-qt-dev: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyqtconfig.py --- ...so, installing python-qt-dev will make hp-check happy, but it seems a bit silly to have HPLIP depend in any way on that -dev package. I have grep-ed through src/hplip-2.8.6 and the only places "sip" appears is in the check.py program and installer/distros.dat... I think it should be safe to comment out the sip test in check.py. - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
