As I said in comment #4 ----- The binary package libsane-hpaio DOES NOT depend on the binary package hplip, not even indirectly, so the binary package hplip can get demoted to Universe.
the binary package printer-driver-hpcups also does not depend on the binary package hplip, but printer-driver-hpcups itself can already get demoted to Universe as we replace the printer drivers by Printer Application Snaps (this driver provided by the HPLIP Printer Application, hplip-printer-app). So hp-scan as part of the binary package hplip will go to Universe, hp-sendfax as part of the binary package hplip-gui is already in Universe. ----- Now, keeping CUPS as DEB packages for the time being, we continue with libsane-hpaio and printer-driver-hpcups in Main, but we can demote the binary package hplip into Universe, so the dependency on python- reportlab goes completely into Universe, eliminating the need of this MIR at least from the printing-stack side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028054 Title: [MIR] python-rlpycairo Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently owned by Foundations). The only consumer of python-reportlab is hplip (owned by Desktop), apparently it needs it for scanning: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651240 $ reverse-depends src:python-reportlab -c main -r mantic Reverse-Depends =============== * hplip (for python3-reportlab) Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x src:hplip -> src:python-reportlab -> src:python-rlpycairo -> src:freetype-py & src:ttf-bitstream-vera So from the above, it sounds like this new dependency is actually needed (after the reportlab package dropped its renderpm extension). It should be discussed between Foundations and Desktop who's owning those dependencies and doing the MIRs for python-rlpycairo, freetype- py and ttf-bitstream-vera To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/2028054/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
