Comment 18 for bug 349781

Nick B., thank you for your testing.

To cure the symptoms I could do

perl -p -i -e 's/PyUnicodeUCS2/PyUnicodeUCS4/g' debian/hplip/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/cupsext.so

during the build process of the HPLIP package, but the real fix has to be done in the Python infrastructure so that cupsext.so gets built correctly in the first place.

So I am setting the HPLIP task to "Triaged" as HPLIP only needs to be rebuilt when the Python infrastructure is ready.
