Michael,

Hi Mark,


The -gui package is really there for dependancy management. Users do install hplip on a headless print server and don't want the gui dependances pulled in -qt3.

If they want the full gui interface. The -gui package ensures the depends and menu entries are correct.

Hm, that looks a bit weird to me, sorry. Why are the tools with the gui dependencies not in hplip-gui (e.g. hp-systray)?

I'd even go so for and argue, that this violates the policy, as you install software without the proper dependencies.
Example:
hplip installed (but hplip-gui not) => non-functioning hp-systray.

Cheers,
Michael
