Bug#393271: statoverride warning not useful
Package: hplip
Version: 1.6.7-2
Severity: normal
When I run /etc/init.d/hplip, it says
You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/hplip. Fix it, otherwise you risk silent breakage on upgrades.
I think that the warning would be much more useful if it explained
which command I should run to fix the situation, or if it actually
prompted me to fix the situation, or if it even automatically fixed
the situation itself. As it is, I have no idea what to do to make my
printer start working.
