This is an old bug. Solution to reporter's original problem was to
dpkg-reconfigure hplip. However, vague error message still exists in
dapper:
/etc/init.d/hplip
(excerpt)
fixdirs() {
dir=$(dpkg-statoverride --list /var/run/hplip) || {
echo "You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/hplip.
Fix it, otherwise you risk silent breakage on upgrades." >&2 ##Not really
helpful
exit 1
}
[ -z "$dir" ] || createdir $dir
# clear exit status
:
}
Gutsy has a python script for hplip in /usr/share/hplip and I couldn't
find an equivalent message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/hplip$ grep -r override *
base/utils.py:def usage_formatter(override=0):
base/utils.py: if override:
base/utils.py: col1 = override
base/pml.py:OID_COPIER_REDUCTION = ('1.5.1.4', TYPE_SIGNED_INTEGER) # (100%=no
scaling) (OID_COPIER_FIT_TO_PAGE overrides)
hpssd.py: ("Port to listen on:", "-p<port> or --port=<port> (overrides
value in /etc/hp/hplip.conf)", "option", False),
installer/distros.dat:# # Version data overrides distro data if present.
makecopies.py: ("Fit to page (flatbed only):", "-f or --fittopage or
--fit (overrides reduction/enlargement)", "option", False),
Edgy and Dapper users can modify their hplip scripts directly, add the line:
echo "Try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure hplip, then restart: sudo
/etc/init.d/hplip restart" >&2
Marking Confirmed to preserve comments.
** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu)
