hplip 3.20.3-2 update requires manual intervention
Thu, 19 Mar 2020 06:53:30 +0000
The hplip package prior to version 3.20.3-2 was missing the compiled python modules.
This has been fixed in 3.20.3-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked
pyc files that were created. If you get errors such as these
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/avahi.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/codes.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
...many more...
when updating, use
pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/share/hplip/\*
to perform the upgrade.
