hplip is in seeds (https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-seeds) but is included in brackets so it is a recommends and not a dependency of ubuntu-meta packages. It looks like hplip is a recommends since the edgy release. I believe this is the correct behaviour because it should be possible to remove the hplip package if people don't need it without removing ubuntu-desktop. The question is if recommends of ubuntu-meta packages are installed by default by the ubuntu installer ubiquity (desktop cd) and/or debian-installer (alternate cd)?
> hplip is not installed by default TDB, Did you use the desktop or alternate cd? Is this reproduceable on a fresh installation of gutsy? ** Summary changed: - gutsy, hpijs, cupsys can not print + [Gutsy] hplip is not installed by default ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Assignee: Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst) => (unassigned) -- [Gutsy] hplip is not installed by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
