> The 'systemd' package doesn't switch your init system, I understad that. However, I try, to the extent possible, to avoid installing software that I don't understand on the machines that I maintain, and I do not understand systemd. I find it surprising that I cannot install the hpps binary without installing systemd. > This is not a bug in hplip, nor in any other package down the dependency > chain; hereby closing then. I most respectfully disagree -- I should be able to install the hpps binary without installing systemd. Please reopen this bug.
