Bug#484058: hplip: hp-systray won't do anything, fails silently to start cause pyqt not installed
Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi.
On my system, the hp-systray icon is visible, however, double-clicking
it won't do anything.
Looking at the xsession-errors, I see an error, but otherwise, from the
GUI, nothing displayed.
.xsession-errors contains :
error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
warning: Qt/PyQt initialization failed.
error: hp-toolbox requires GUI support. Exiting.

At least, some popup saying that a problem occurred would be better.
Btw, shouldn't hp-systray be part of package hplip-gui instead of hplip ?
I see that hplip won't depend on python-qt4 whereas hplip-gui does.
