Package: hplip Version: 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.hp...@sideload.33mail.com Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1779307
This bug was reported upstream six years ago. A patch was submitted by a user in that same report. Still today the patch has not been integrated upstream. This is not just some oscure corner case bug. It’s a fundamental failure of basic options that every user experiences. There is a long list of bug reports that come with patches and it seems a lot of patches are not getting integrated: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+patches It seems as if HP is in over their head or relatively inactive. Not sure if there anything Debian can or should do about that, but thought it should be highlighted here in the Debian BTS. It’s worth noting that the upstream bug tracker is rightfully mentioned in the man page and in the reportbug submission dialog, but not on: https://packages.debian.org/<release>/hplip-data -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages hplip depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii cups 2.4.2-3+deb12u5 ii hplip-data 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u7 ii libcups2 2.4.2-3+deb12u5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 ii libhpmud0 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ii libpython3.11 3.11.2-6 ii libsane-hpaio 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ii libsane1 1.2.1-2 ii lsb-base 11.6 ii printer-driver-hpcups 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-dbus 1.3.2-4+b1 ii python3-gi 3.42.2-3+b1 ii python3-pexpect 4.8.0-4 ii python3-pil 9.4.0-1.1+b1 ii python3-reportlab 3.6.12-1 ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.06-4 ii wget 1.21.3-1+b2 ii xz-utils 5.4.1-0.2 Versions of packages hplip recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.8-10 ii policykit-1 122-3 ii printer-driver-postscript-hp 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ii sane-utils 1.2.1-2 Versions of packages hplip suggests: ii hplip-doc 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 pn hplip-gui <none> pn python3-notify2 <none> pn system-config-printer <none> -- no debconf information
