Rubén, Thanks for your report, although I am downgrading to wishlist as hplip does state that it depends on sysv-rc and that produces a working system. I see that file-rc doesn't feature high on popcon and there hasn't been much activity, the last upload was in Jul 06. If you have some suggestions for how to enable hplip to work with file-rc, please file them with this bug report. But for now I think it is low priority against the work required for hplip.

But I guess you already know ;) I don't know if it would work with file-rc. If it does then by all means report back and we can make it a alternative depends.

I think that I you don't know if it would work with file-rc, you shoudn't depend on sysv-rc. apt-cache rdepends sysv-rc file-rc file-rc Reverse Depends: festival sysvinit sysv-rc sysv-rc rcconf festival bum sysv-rc Reverse Depends: upstart-compat-sysv hplip hplip sysv-rc-bootsplash insserv |festival |sysvinit sysv-rc-conf runit-run rcconf kde-guidance insserv initscripts file-rc |festival bum bpalogin The only package with a rdepend on sysv-rc and not file-rc is bpalogin, and it also has a bug report on it (#431478). I think that you should not depend on sysv-rc neither on file-rc. Do you agree to make the change?
