Well the HP tools are very very Linux centric; so I am not surprised that there are still dragons in there.

How could I proceed in debugging? Oh that. Well that would require some patching I guess. As mentioned, the HP tools make a lot of assumptions which aren't true on OpenBSD :/ I've never spent too much time trying to fix hp-setup because it tends to break at each update in a different way -- but if that's something users really want, I could have a look when I have time. -- Antoine
