Public bug reported:

`sudo sh ./hplip-3.16.10.run` prints

    > sudo sh ./hplip-3.16.10.run
    Creating directory hplip-3.16.10
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.
    Uncompressing HPLIP 3.16.10 Self Extracting Archive  100%  Extraction 
failed.

and returns code 0.

The error message `Extraction failed` is unhelpful because one doesn't
know what to do next.

A good error message should explain the reason for the failure and give
suggestions how to overcome the reason or work around the failure. Both
are crucial parts of intuitive software which can be used without
unnecessary resouce waisting. Please review other error messages of this
kind and improve them until the next release since they're part of
stable and good software.
