retitle 380845 hplip 1.6.7-1 uninstallable due to Python transition
thanks
HPLIP is now uninstallable in sid: it depends on python (< 2.4) which
can no longer be satisfied. To work now that /usr/bin/python is Python
2.4, it will need to use #!/usr/bin/python2.3 for all scripts, and depend
on python2.3 (assuming that your comments about it being untested on
Python 2.4 are still appropriate).
According to the python-support README.gz, to do this in an automatic way
using python-support you should use "dh_pysupport -V2.3" *instead of*
dh_python, and build-depend on python-support (>= 0.4). You will probably also
need to edit the #! line in scripts installed to /usr/bin.
