Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.12-3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/hp-levels
hp-levels complains about being run as root, but doesn't run as a normal
user. This is on a server, so X is not running, and there is no session
bus. hal is not installed.
hp-levels should work on a server. If it absolutely needs a session bus,
it must create one if one is not present, or depend on a package that
will do this.
As a user:
