[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1412729] Re: system-config-printer crashes when assigning a downloadable non-free Epson driver to a detected printer
@Till, before installing the alien, build-essential and lsb packages, I reverted the VM to a previous snapshot (which is clean). I did this before every attempt at installing the printer. In the attempt where I installed these packages manually (and their dependencies), system-config-printer succeeded in installing the driver. In the other attempts it hanged. There was also one attempt where I installed alien and build-essential, but not lsb, and it didn't work. Was the VM that you used for testing in a after installation state?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1412729] Re: system-config-printer crashes when assigning a downloadable non-free Epson driver to a detected printer
I just tested this in a VirtualBox VM (which contains a very vanilla 14.04 install with very few extra packages installed), and it didn't work. I tried several times. The Epson repository is added successfully, but it hangs while it's installing the driver package (epson-inkjet-printer-nx420). The package is not installed. The last output of system-config-printer --debug is: pk.refresh_cache succeeded pk.resolve pk.resolve succeeded package_id: epson-inkjet-printer-nx420;1.0.0-1lsb3.2;amd64;printdriver package not installed pk.install_packages Signature key supplied After this, when I try to install the package manually, it fails because /var/cache/debconf/config.dat (and other files there) is locked by another process. Here are the relevant lines (I think) of ps aux: root 3331 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/0ZN+ 16:57 0:00 [dpkg] defunct root 3332 0.0 0.0 648 pts/0SN+ 16:57 0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true root 0.0 1.0 64128 15628 pts/0SN+ 16:57 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt root 3335 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/0ZN+ 16:57 0:00 [dpkg-preconfigu] defunct However, if I install the packages alien, build-essential and lsb before installing the printer through system-config-printer, the installation completes successfully. Also, there was one time when apt failed to install the driver package (manually) because one of the dependencies, which was lsb, was not properly configured. So, is sytem-config-printer failing to configure a package (i.e. debconf), or is this a quirk with Virtualbox? Another note.

The lsb or at least the lsb-printing package should be in the dependencies of the printer driver package and this way get automatically installed along with it. The dpkg processes running on yout VM and blocking the installation of the driver is more a problem of your individual system (or perhaps the VM?). Installing apt alien build-essential, ... gives perhaps some kick to these processes making them terminating.
