net-print/hplip installs following files: # equery f hplip | grep "/usr/share/hal" /usr/share/hal /usr/share/hal/fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-hplip-devices.fdi this files are totally useless because there is even no Hal in portage tree anymore. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-print/hplip Actual Results: See garbage files. Expected Results: Should have no garbage files. This bug appears at least with following USE-flags for net-print/hplip-3.11.10: "-* X acl hpcups kde policykit qt4", probably with other flag sets too.
While I think there are more important things than this, I will take a look at it.
