[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#405105: Re: Bug#405105: libcupsys2-dev: dependency missmatch to libcupsys2 (=1.2.7-1)

[Wolfgang Schnitker]

Hi Roger,

first of all I can NOT reproduce the error again, because of yesterdays update 
(apt-get update). I can not stress too much, that I really had this error, 
that the dev package deps on (=1.2.7-1). It is definitively gone. Therfore in 
my opinion you can close this bug.

Second, below the storyboard for the installerscript from linuxprinting.


I downloaded hplip-1.6.12-run script. Because I have trouble with the 
hpsendfax function in hplip. See bug #402909. I will run the script in a 
mode, to get the right dev-packages.


Then chmod +x and sudo ./hplip-1.6.12-run, in automatic mode.

Resulting Errors:

warning: There are 4 missing REQUIRED dependencies.
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: cups-devel (cups-devel- Common Unix 
Printing System development files)
error: This installer cannot install this dependency for your distro/OS and/or 
version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually 
install this dependency and re-run this installer.

--> package naming not conform to debian!

next step: wajig installrs libcupsys2-dev 

Actions:

Went OK

Rerun hplip-1.6.12.run

Errors:

warning: There are 3 missing REQUIRED dependencies.
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libusb (libusb - USB library)
error: This installer cannot install this dependency for your distro/OS and/or

error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually

Which libusb?????

libusb-dev installed

Rerun hplip-1.6.12.run

Errors:

warning: There are 2 missing REQUIRED dependencies.
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: lsb (LSB - Linux Standard Base support)
error: This installer cannot install this dependency for your distro/OS and/or

error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually 
install this dependency and re-run this installer.

Which lsb? 2 or 3??

Choose lsb-3, needs lsb-build-base3 and lsb-build-cc3 (newly available since 
31.12.2005).

Rerun hplip-1.6.12.run


Errors:

warning: There are 2 missing REQUIRED dependencies.

error: This installer cannot install this dependency for your distro/OS and/or

Aha, lsb-build-pkgchk3 and lsb-build-desktop3 plus their deps installed.

Still not correct one.

lsb-appchk3 installed

Still not correct.

lsb 3.1-22 package and deps installed

solves.

Rerun

warning: There are 1 missing REQUIRED dependencies.
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: cups (cups - Common Unix Printing 
System)
error: This installer cannot install this dependency for your distro/OS and/or

only not installed package from cups was libcupsimage2-dev

installed, rerun. no success. 

Give up automatic mode. Change to manual mode.
####
INSTALLATION MODE
-----------------
Please choose the installation mode (a=automatic*, c=custom, q=quit) : c

Would you like to install HPLIP (desktop/recommended) or HPIJS only 
(server/printing only) (d='HPLIP'* (recommended), s='HPIJS only', q=quit) ? d

This installer will install HPLIP version 1.6.12 on your computer.

VIEW RELEASE NOTES
------------------

Would you like to view the release notes for this version of HPLIP (y=yes, 
n=no*, q=quit) ?


BUILD/INSTALL OPTIONS
---------------------

Do you wish to enable 'Network/JetDirect I/O' (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? n

Do you wish to enable 'GUI' (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? y

Do you wish to enable 'PC Send Fax' (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? y

Do you wish to enable 'Scanning' (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ?

Do you wish to enable 'Parallel I/O (LPT)' (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ?


DISTRO/OS SELECTION
-------------------

Is "Debian testing" your correct distro/OS and version (y=yes*, n=no, 
q=quit) ?     

####

Stops with 1 error, 1 package left open.

Tried ./configure by hand.

net-snmp was the solution!

Installer still stops with cups missing in auto mode.

Manual mode is working. Test installation, no FAX possible.

Realy Give up, uninstall an reinstall hplip-deb-package.
