To the HP developers at HP: Debian and Ubuntu (and perhaps also other modern Linux distributions) have multi-architecture support which allows installing libraries for different architectures on the same system (most prominently having also 32-bit i386 libraries on 64-bit amd64 systems). The libraries which got formerly installed into /usr/lib/ are now installed into /usr/lib/x86_64 -linux-gnu for the 64-bit amd64 versions of the library binaries, into /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu for the 32-bit i386 versions, ...
The proprietary plugin seems not to take account of this and searches for its libraries on hard-coded paths. Therefore adding the links as described in comment #6 solves the problem. Could you make the plugin in a way that it either searches alternative paths or checks by environment variables whether the libraries are in multi-architecture sub-directories or at other alternative positions? This would make it much easier for users of Linux distributions to use the plugin with the distribution's packages of HPLIP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825717 Title: hplip issue during hp-setup - stuck at plugin install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1825717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
