ln -s /usr/share/hplip/$$file \
../../bin/$$dest 2>/dev/null || :; \
should be:
ln -s ../../usr/share/hplip/$$file \
../../bin/$$dest 2>/dev/null || :; \
and package compiles prefectly in any env.
many links are directly over / so then perl replaces line will hang on none-existing links if are a clean env...
