    Very odd, as Debian devel packages would be named foo-dev or libfoo-vev, sane-devel would be libsane-dev in Debian/Ubuntu.
    So these deps showing look more like rpm names, which seem to use -devel.

    And the python-pyqt4 is definitely going to be missing, being Qt4 stuff.


    Oshunluvr, this is on a Neon system? If so hp-check will throw errors as it does not recognize Neon as a supported distro, and I believe the 'missing' deps are due to this. hp-cheepck is what is used in it's manual installer to detect the OS and set up automatic package dep installs. It seems to throw out generic dep requirements.

    Code:
    warning: neon distro is not found in AUTH_TYPES
    warning: unknown-20.04 version is not supported. Using unknown-0 versions dependencies to verify and install...

    Neon users who try to manually install a newer hplip directly from HP have to change /etc/os-release to read ubuntu so the installer will work, at leastnit was needed for 16.04 and 18.04.


    tl;dr this hp-check output very likely has nothing to do with issues here.

      Yeah, neon 20.04 via upgrading my 18.04 user edition. I too suspect hp-check is the problem. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough.

        O.K., so Neon is weird

        The rest of us are only slightly less weird
