Bug#825383: /usr/share/hplip/doctor.py: hp-doctor will not accept sudo password and there is no root account
Package: hplip
Version: 3.16.11+repack0-3
Followup-For: Bug #825383
Dear Maintainer,
I can confirm that this bug is still existent in Debian 9.
I understand that there will be not so many users affected by this bug since
only a minority will configure their Debian system with sudo instead of a root
account. But I think Debian stable should be able to handle a configuration
with sudo.
I am no programmer, but if I can contribute somehow in solving this problem,
let me know.
Greetings
Reinhard
