[HPLIP-Devel] cups-devel dependancy problem on Ubuntu Fiesty 7.04

[Jinesh C. <jc...@gm...>]

Hi

Just would like to point out something...

It seems that the following code in hplip-2.7.6/installer/dcheck.py:


def check_cups_devel():
    return check_file('cups.h') and bool(utils.which('lpr'))


requires that people have the cupsys-bsd package installed otherwise the
installer reports the cupsys-devel dependency was not met.
(umm of course I mean any package which provides lpr and not just
cupsys-bsd)

I've posted a thread on ubuntuforums and so people will be able to figure
this out...incase the devs don't think this is a bug.
