HP Device Manager ( hplip ) update requires manual intervention

Update of HP Device Manager

The coming update of HP Device Manager requires manual intervention.

The filesystem permissions for the hplip folder may be different on your system.

The package default is 755. To ensure the correct permissions execute this command

sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/hplip/* -R

You are advised to use pacman to overwrite the offending files

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/share/hplip/\*

thank you

[linux-aarhus]

If you are using the manjaro-printer package - then yes - when it comes to stable.

thank you

When the time comes, are we supposed to issue both of these commands in the given order? Or will only one of them be enough? Which one?

If you get:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesyste
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/avahi.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/codes.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem

hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-38.pyc exists in f
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

you will need to do:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/share/hplip/\*

If you get this:

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/
filesystem: 700  package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect/__pycache__/
filesystem: 777  package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/hplip/prnt/__pycache__/

you will need to do:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/hplip/* -R

Much clearer. I was wondering what OP was talking about when I upgraded my systems that are in Testing, since the upgrade just completed without errors on my side. It makes more sense.

[mparillo]

If your mirrors are fully-up-to-date, the latest from Stable should not have required any manual intervention. Mine went smoothly, probably because I waited for this:

[Stable Update] 2020-03-24 - Kernels, KDE Frameworks 5.68, Gnome 3.36, LibreOffice 6.4.2

Most likely manjaro-system-20200324-3 should fix it ...

Hi,
I'm with manjaro 20200324 and I can't install hplip cause I have those files already installed.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

I had similar issue when installing HP Device Manager through Add/Remove (pamac).
I manually deleted /usr/share/hplip folder and did the install again.

[Oracle911]

Same here.

Edit: Knome found the solution for me.
