Bug#340467: hplip-base depends on libsnmp5 which isn't in testing

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>]

severity 340467 important
retitle 340467 [britney] removes dependencies from testing making packages uninstalable
reassign 340467 ftp.debian.org
thanks

Summary for ftp.debian.org:

   hplip-base is still in testing.  However, one of its dependencies
   (Depends:) was removed from testing, making hplip-base uninstalable.
   hplip-base should have been removed as well, OR the package it Depends:
   should not have been removed in the first place.

   Packages involved: hplib-base, libsnmp5

WTF why hplip 0.9.3 not removed from testing, then, if one of its
dependencies was?

This is a very serious problem in the testing archive.

That might be a data point.
