[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#657047: hplip: does not build in pbuilder

[Ronny Standtke]

Source: hplip
Version: 3.11.12-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I always backport new versions of hplip to squeeze. This worked without
any problem so far...

But building v3.11.12-2 with pbuilder fails because in the debian/rules
step "Correct Python interpreter path in all executables", readlink
fails to print ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-hpdio because it links to the
absolute path /usr/share/hplip/hpdio.py, which is non-existing in the
pbuilder chroot.
All other links are relative paths,
e.g. ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-firmware points
to ../share/hplip/firmware.py
Because readlink returns an empty value, the build process just hangs at
this step forever.

It seems that ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-hpdio should also point to a
relative path.

Best regards
