I just tried on the live Ubuntu 6.06 CD: dpkg --force-depends -i hplip_0.9.11-2_i386.deb hplip- data_0.9.11-2_all.deb
but that didn't solve the problem. Unfortunately the debian unstable packages want to pull in different python and libc versions, so I haven't tried using apt-get or friends. To resume: Ubuntu 6.06: problem as described above Debian-testing (as of last weeks): Same problem. Debian-unstable (tried hplip-0.9.11-2): Works OK. Ubuntu 5.10: Works OK. -- cannot write /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat https://launchpad.net/bugs/40795 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
