It would, but it is there so that I get bug reports instead of leaving
people wondering what is broken. Anyway, how did you break the package
enough that it gave you that warning? Do you recall if you had to do
anything weird in the last apt runs? Did hplip finish configuring properly?
Anyway, the fix is simple: remove hplip and install it again. It will fix
itself, as long as your system is in good shape enough for dpkg to work.

You are doing something weird when installing packages. What?

You also need the above packages unless you *really* know better.
