Comment 32 for bug 994924

Here /var/lib/hp is owned by hplip. I did unmerge hplip, removed /var/lib/hp and installed hplip again. This is with portage-2.1.10.65 which seems to install the empty directory.

$ equery b /var/lib/hp
 * Searching for /var/lib/hp ...
net-print/hplip-3.12.6 (/var/lib/hp)

@Sylvain Alain: Does the plugin install if /var/lib/hp exists or is hplip.state needed as well? In comment #16 you have created hplip.state with permissions 755 as well.

@Brain Dolbec: I assume your bug (this one and upstream) is fixed now? Bug #352439 is assigned to Diego because I do not maintain the plugin package and he seems to be interested in the plugin package. Feel free to maintain it, but from my point of view it causes nothing but problems. There also seem to be license issues. I recommend everybody buying a hp printer to choose one which does not require the binary plugins.

@Alexandre Rostovtsev: I can not reproduce this issue as I do not own a printer which needs a binary plugin.

@All: Please answer comment #25.
