Must be! It has exerted its influence across the English Channel and affected my machine! A little test, using either the technique I gave earlier or by printing: The first line of /usr/lib/os-release has "bullseye/sid" in it. There are eight characters in "bullseye". Remove any one of them and print. Also - leave the eight characters there and remove the forward slash. Now, who is to deal with this? Upstream HPLIP, upstream systemd or the base-files maintainer? > I compared the two source packages of base-files (10.3+deb10u1 vs. 11), > see the attached diff output. > I really cannot see any relevant difference. > Should we suppose that printer-driver-hpcups reads /etc/os-release > (or /etc/issue* or /etc/debian_version) and decides whether it will > crash, based on this?!? I do not understand code but, for some reason, /etc/os-release is opened in common/utils.c. Regards, Brian.
