[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#476126: hplip: postrm attempts to remove group scanner unconditionally

[Julien BLACHE]

Package: hplip
Severity: important

Hi,

When purged, the hplip postrm attempts to remove the scanner group, and this
in an unconditional manner.

Please do not do this and let libsane handle the scanner group.

Thanks,

JB.
