Package: hplip Version: 2.8.6.b-4 Severity: wishlist When I went to upgrade my server today, I found that libsane (and all of its dependencies) are to be installed because hplip is to be upgraded. Since the printer connected to this machine is a Deskjet 5740, I don't need any of the other functionality installed.
I would much prefer that scanning be separated out into its own package, so that I don't have to drag in over 15 MB of dependencies (and that many more bugs and potential security holes) onto a machine that will never use it. However, any solution that removes these dependencies is acceptable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hplip depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilitiesii cups 1.3.8-1lenny4.1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii hplip-data 2.8.6.b-4 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - da
