Bug#1093486: hplip: uninstallable on sid after transition of python3 to 3.13
Package: hplip
Version: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
with the transition of python3 to 3.13 on sid, bplip became uninstallable, since it has an explicit
Depends: python3 (<< 3.13)
This forces sid users to either stall the transition (like me), to keep hplip installed if they need it, or to uninstall hplip and be unable to reinstall it till this dependence is fixed.
Of course, stalling the transition will, on the long run, end in dependency hell, hence the "important" tag.
Thanks in advance, best regards
Giacomo Mulas

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
