and subject line Bug#1076154: fixed in hplip 3.26.4+dfsg0-2
has caused the Debian Bug report #1076154,

various invalid escape sequences for multiple files in /usr/share/hplip
to be marked as done.
This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.
(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this

Package: hplip
Version: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Update of system
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Haven't done anything--saw errors being reported during installation of hplip
package.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Uncertain. Could easily be of no consequence, but then again IANAProgrammer.
So far (one small test) the manager seems to be working fine.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No error messages, of course. Examples are given below.
Kenward
These are just some of the error messages. All seemed similar (escape sequence
issue).

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling
the HPLIP supplied
tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed
to successfully
compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb,
.rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper
dependencies installed to
successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the
above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
