Created attachment 658756 [details] output from console with debug informations this is not a duplicate of #740688, since with python3.7 hp-check hangs, with python3.8 it crashes and produces some output at least: hp-check[5597]: debug: Searching for file 'jpeglib.h' in '/usr/include'... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/hp-check", line 861, in <module> dep.core.init() File "/usr/share/hplip/installer/core_install.py", line 528, in init self.check_dependencies(callback) File "/usr/share/hplip/installer/core_install.py", line 621, in check_dependencies self.have_dependencies[d] = self.dependencies[d][3]() File "/usr/share/hplip/installer/core_install.py", line 981, in check_libjpeg return check_lib("libjpeg") and check_file("jpeglib.h") File "/usr/share/hplip/installer/dcheck.py", line 108, in check_file for w in utils.walkFiles(dir, recurse=True, abs_paths=True, return_folders=False, pattern=f): File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 292, in walkFiles for f in walkFiles(fullname, recurse, abs_paths, return_folders, pattern, path): File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 292, in walkFiles for f in walkFiles(fullname, recurse, abs_paths, return_folders, pattern, path): File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 292, in walkFiles for f in walkFiles(fullname, recurse, abs_paths, return_folders, pattern, path): [Previous line repeated 988 more times] File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 278, in walkFiles if fnmatch.fnmatch(name, pat): File "/usr/lib/python3.8/fnmatch.py", line 36, in fnmatch return fnmatchcase(name, pat) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/fnmatch.py", line 70, in fnmatchcase match = _compile_pattern(pat) RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in comparison
there is one open upstream bug for lack of python3.8 support in hp-plugin installer, it might be able to fix this bug too? https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1843037
ok, so I'm having a bad bugzilla day here. The error differs when using python3.8, but it's the same reason, as it follows symlinks from nodejs. This is package is a mess, really. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 740688 ***
