Current hplip package in testing and sid requires python 3.12
Several packages in testing now require 3.13 (eg libreoffice and
borg). Since there is no newer package in sid, and Trixie freeze
approaches, I worry on the usability of hplip in Trixie.
Will Trixie ship without Python 3.12? The python3.12 package exists in
unstable and testing. The packaging issue with hplip appears to be
that it depends on "python3 (< 3.13)". Perhaps it should depend on
python3.12 instead.
The hplip package certainly needs work for Trixie: besides the above
there's also two RC bugs.
I looked at the package. To make it depnd on python3.12 would not be a
problem, except for other dependencies like python3-pyqt5. I'll try to
check wether all of them can be used with both versions of pythons.
Another possibility is that hplip can work with python 3.13 but it was
not known at time of packaging. I'll try to setup VMs and try those
solutions, however, I never created a VM with graphical sessions (to
test xsane), so I hope that scanning through scanimage is equivalent and
can validate a solution or the other
