[Vincent Danjean]

reopen 500183
found 500183 2.8.6.b-3
forcemerge 500183 496660
severity 500183 serious
thanks

  Hi,

  I'm sorry to tell you that the patch proposed in 500183 in not
applied in hplip 2.8.6.b-3 (whereas the changelog says it has been
applied in 2.8.6.b-2)
  Manually patching /usr/bin/hp-makeuri (ie modifying the 3 lines
with "vi") with the patch provided in 500183 solves 500183 and 496660.

  I do not check at all why this patch has not been applied during
the package building.

  Best regards
    Vincent

PS: I've been hit again by these bugs during a etch->lenny upgrade today
(ie the hplip 2.8.6.b-1 in lenny does not have this 3 lines patch).
I think you should really consider asking for a freeze exception
for this bug for lenny. The patch is simple and the bug is really
annoying and difficult to find and workaround for someone not
experimented (so my CC to debian-release).

I mark this bug as serious to be sure it will be fixed for lenny
(feel free to downgrade the severity if you really disagree)
