[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#452408: hplip: undeclared predependency on killall (Re: E: Couldn't install system due to errors!)

[René Mérou]

I tryed to remove packages with dependencies like solfeo or edu-music and it 
run, or at least it did not stoped at that point.  but it was installed with 
one secondary problem.  The work stops at that package asking for some 
questions.

But i was not able tu start kdm in that iso so i started one new from zero, 
one etch this time.  

I left the work all the night and now i find it was stoped one more time in 
that package, this is the text:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Stopping the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This program manages devices controlled by the HP OfficeJet Linux
driver (hpoj).  It attempts to probe your computer for local parallel-
and USB-connected devices, and allows you to specify network addresses
for remote JetDirect-connected devices.

If you experience any difficulties in detecting your device(s), then
refer to the hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.

Currently defined device names ([*]=default):

Probe for USB-connected devices ([y]/n)?  n

Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to add a
JetDirect-connected device, then enter its dotted-decimal
IP address or hostname here --->

Done updating device configuration files stored under /etc/ptal.
If you make manual changes to those files, then be sure to run
"/etc/init.d/hpoj start" so they will take effect.

Starting the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
    No hpoj devices have been configured.
    As root, run "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup".

if i answer it continues the job. I dont know at the moment if it ends the job 
well, but at least this package has that little inconvenient. Is that a bug?
