Installation failed due to missing dependencies pyqt4-dbus and pyqt4 on Debian 9

Asked by Walter Trepode

$ sh hplip-3.19.5.run

I accepted the defaults maked with a '*'.

Is "Debian 9.9" your correct distro/OS and version (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? y

I entered the root password.

I disabled the CD Sources in the apt sources.list (www.deb-multimedia.org) as requested.

At the end the error message was:

error: A required dependency 'pyqt4-dbus (PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4)' is still missing.
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.

Hi Santhosh,

Thank you for your answer!

I solved the problem installing hplip version 3.16.11+repack0-3 with Synaptic Package Manager and everything worked perfectly.

Best regards,

Walter Trepode
